Paul Chronister
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
Pamela Beste
this was our second trip to Mount Vernon. The first time it was just my husband and I. This time was with my teenagers. I love it so much and my husband knows it. There is something that draws me there. So it's tough living in Missouri. Pamela Beste, 2019

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
Michelle Erica Green
This is my father, my father's brother, and my older son visiting along with my husband, younger son, mother, and mother's brother. Both uncles coincidentally happened to be in the DC area, even though one lived in L.A. and the other in New York, and we decided to take the kids to Mount Vernon to see the mansion and the animals, which they loved! Michelle Erica Green, 2003
Melinda Hoffma
My twin sister Allison and I visit our best friend Anneliese of 35 years every summer who lives in DC. We love exploring the history of the city and especially love visiting Mt. Vernon! Last summer we did the Book of Secrets tour, which was pretty cool to see spots most visitors don’t get to go!! We love the beauty of the grounds and walking the paths filled with history! Melinda Hoffman, 2019

My brother and his family were visiting my mom over Christmas. I suggested we go to Mount Vernon (I'm the picture taker!). It was a beautiful sunny day and we enjoyed meeting Aladdin the camel and viewing the mansion decorations. Mount Vernon is lovely to visit in any season. Margo Cunniffe, 2016

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

In 2017 my 2 kids were living in NC with their dad and it was a big change for all of us. Their step dad Ron and I flew out there, picked them up in a rented car and spent a great spring break in DC. The tornado hit the tidal basin the night we arrived! The icing on our trip cake was visiting Mount Vernon. We wanted to understand Washington better and see what captivated his heart the way Mt Vernon did. Laura Dalrymple, 2017
