“Paper George” Travels the U.S.
George Washington is on the move once again! Students have been taking “Paper George” to historic sites across the country in order to find out whether George Washington ever visited them. Six- year old Isaac from Baltimore visited Hampton Mansion National Site in Towson with “Paper George” recently and discovered that while Washington likely socialized with the family that owned the site, the house itself was built when he was in his later years and so he probably never visited. Thanks, Isaac, for sharing your findings with us! For more information about “Paper George” or to request a copy, please email Diana Cordray at dcordray@mountvernon.org.
