Mount Vernon was the beloved home of George and Martha Washington from the time of their marriage in 1759 until Washington's death in 1799. He worked tirelessly to expand his plantation from 2,000 acres to 8,000 and the mansion house from six rooms to twenty one. We also learned about George Washington, the farmer, the entrepreneur, the President & many more tidbits. After the tour we relaxed and enjoyed a narrated cruise along the Potomac River with sweeping views of the Mount Vernon Estate.
