George Washington: The Video Game

wwOur very first 3-D animated Mount Vernon website is now live! Ta Da! WashingtonsWorld.org is a website that allows children of all ages to explore Mount Vernon and meet some of the people, such as Dr. Craik and Billy Lee, that lived in Washington’s world. The game Washington’s Treasures is a treasure hunt through the estate that has you looking for clues to find famous objects such as Washington’s spy glass or fan chair. In Harpsichord Hero, you are a colonial rock star playing the harpsichord so the Washingtons and their guests can dance. General Washington gives the orders in Bombarding Yorktown as you aim the cannons at the British forts and frigates during the siege of Yorktown. A Mount Vernon archaeology game and virtual jigsaw puzzles are also available when you beat that final level of Harpsichord Hero (though we’re not quite sure that’s possible- it’s hard!). So leave a comment and let us know what you think about our two new websites!

Portraits in Schools

Kids holding George Washington Portrait

Mount Vernon recently invited K-12 schools nationwide to request framed portraits of George Washington to display in a respectful, prominent place.

The response was overwhelming: thousands of schools submitted letters! Along with the portrait, schools received curriculum materials to help explore our first president’s contributions.
