Mount Vernon in the Snow

Mount VernonIt’s always a wonder to work at Mount Vernon but particularly on days like yesterday. The Estate looked spectacular after the snow storm. We broke records in the DC area for snow fall this past weekend but Mount Vernon was open for business as usual on Monday. We take our mission of passing on Washington’s legacy very seriously! I had the lucky task of strolling the Estate, taking photos. Visitorship was light, but those who did venture out to visit Mount Vernon had a treat in store. In the nearly empty grounds one could envision what Mount Vernon looked like when Washington returned on Christmas Eve 1783 after the war. A great day to be at Mount Vernon!

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.
