Happy Birthday, Martha!

In celebration of Martha Washington’s birthday today, we just wanted to point out some of the fabulous teaching resources we have online that you can use in your classroom. Martha Washington: A Life is a website devoted entirely to teaching about Martha Washington with a biography, lesson plans, an Archive of artifacts and letters that were hers, as well as a list of Resources. We also have a range of lesson plans that teach about Martha Washington for different grade ranges on our main website. If you have a chance to visit Mount Vernon in person this summer, you will surely meet Martha Washington via our first-person interpreter, Mary Wiseman. This past weekend’s Washington Post article about Mary’s work as Martha Washington is a little teaser for all that you will experience when you meet her in person. So once again, Happy Birthday, Martha!
