My wife and I were out there December 13, 2019, for the Mt Vernon by Candle Light Tour. It was a foggy night, and you could see the light coming out of the front of the mansion, cutting through it. Brent McDonald, 2019

Our sons Louis & Roy looking out over the Potomac. We became members in 2020 and have all enjoyed spending time as a family outdoors exploring the grounds and learning about our nation's first president.Andrew Smetana, 2020

We visit often, as we are neighborhood friends and members of Mount Vernon. This is one of our favorite memories of Zachary meeting some of the soldiers of the Continental Army in October of 2007. Naheed Cabana, 2007

My wife Jacque and I visited Mt. Vernon at the end of October, 2019. We were in the Washington, D. C. area to dedicate a memorial to my wife's Irish immigrants whose graves at Mt. Olivette were heretofore unmarked (they immigrated during the famine). We had not been to Mt. Vernon in several years and this time we wanted to spend three days so we could absorb as much information as possible about Washington's life. One aspect that stood out for us was the range of endeavors Washington undertook to broaden his economic base. The grist mill is a fabulous example. The tour was very interesting and the grounds are lovely, especially in the fall. While the mansion and its grounds are, of course, the centerpiece of a trip to Mt. Vernon, the grist mill shouldn't be overlooked. It was cutting edge for its time and a demonstration of the breadth of Washington's thinking. Mt. Vernon is such a precious part of our heritage and we're grateful that it is being so well maintained and curated. Thanks to all who contribute to make this possible and to the staff and volunteers for their outstanding work. Since we live so far away, we very much appreciate the wonderful online resources that are available. October 2019. Marc Christensen, 2019

We regularly visit Mount Vernon and are so appreciative of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association and all that they have done, and are doing, to preserve, restore, and manage the estate. It's difficult to choose our favorite time of the year to visit, but our daughter especially loves to visit during the Christmas season so she can see Aladdin the camel. Here is a photo of her with her two Aladdins! Ken Rodriguez, 2018

My wife, Jocelyn, and I are Cupola Society members and we frequently walk the Mount Vernon Estate with our black labrador, Sally. Having lived in the Washington D.C. area for over 35 years, we feel fortunate to live so close to President Washington's home and to able to visit so often. We bring every out-of-town guest to walk the Estate with us and to enjoy the view of the Potomac River from the back portico. David Hunn, 2020

We visited Mount Vernon on our way back from a beach trip with extended family including grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. This picture is the set of cousins. They had a blast running and playing in the back yard of Mount Vernon! Katie Seifried, 2018

Benjamin (3) and Natalie (1) first time visiting Mount Vernon in May 2019. They went with their Mom, Grandma, Great-Grandma, and Great Uncle. Their mom works in the museum field and they love to take advantage of all the history Virginia has to offer. Karen Haizlett, 2019

I was new to the DC area and on a solo trip to Mount Vernon. I was awestruck by the beauty of Washington’s home and the view of the Potomac. Paul Chronister, 2012

Attending a Teacher Fellowship (a remarkable opportunity in itself), I got to spend the evenings on the property. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was sipping Madeira on the back porch overlooking the Potomac! Never forget this! Kenneth Blum, 2017
