Happy Birthday, Martha!

copy-of-martha-oval-1Martha Washington has had quite the year so far- she was featured in newspapers, television shows, several GWW posts, and even People magazine recently named her the sexiest historical figure! Huzzah! June 2nd (1731) is the birth date of Martha Washington, and if you have the same birthday or your name is “Martha,” you get free admission to Mount Vernon. It’s a little late to legally change your name to Martha, but you have 364 days to get on that in time for next year!
