We came as a family. Our son had been there a few years previously during he 8th grade school trip. He suggested that our summer trip for 2017 that we all should go to Washington DC. He said that Mount Vernon was one of his favorites. So we went and truly enjoyed our visit at Mount Vernon. What wonderful history that you share there every step of the way. We will be back. Our son, Dalton is in this photo during our visit. Dana Cort, 2018

These are my daughters, Eliza (age 7 at the time) and Isabel (age 5 at the time) at Mount Vernon’s Independence Day celebration. We come every year because this such a wonderful event, and fun for the whole family. It had rained earlier that day, and the day before, so we weren’t sure how the afternoon and night would play out, but the clouds left the area and we had a beautiful evening and another fabulous time celebrating our county’s independence at the stunning Mount Vernon! The girls were celebrating our good fortune of good weather and happiness in this picture that we could once again come to the event. Erin Anderson, 2017

Came to visit the estate and brought along my little granddaughter to see Lady Washington. She was too shy to try on the offered apparel but not me! Sally Jewert, 2018

As teacher for over 20 years, I brought my 8th students from California to Williamsburg and Mt Vernon to learn more about the individuals who believed in a better, freer, and more just system of government. The opportunity to study in these important settings fanned the flames of interest about these important men, women, and places more than just studying in a textbook. My granddaughters, Ambrosia and Rhiannon are Canadian, their knowledge about American history, and it’s Founding Fathers, is limited. Bringing them to learn at these two touchstones of the American story with me this December was a dream finally come true.
While the rain provided obstacles it did not dampen our spirits or my desire to share the story of this hero of mine, and so many others.
Thanks for allowing me to share with you my latest visit to Mount Vernon. Linda Bratcher, 2019

The photo is me, my mom, my sister, and my aunt. I have been a George Washington enthusiast for years, but this was our first trip to Mount Vernon, this January after I received a membership for Christmas. Hilde Perrin, 2020

I brought my girlfriend to Mount Vernon on the 4th of July for the fireworks (we’ve decided it will now be an annual tradition!). We snapped this photo taking shelter under the portico when a storm hit. It subsequently cleared for beautiful fireworks display!!! Joe Zipper, 2019

I'm a middle school history teacher from southern Indiana. Every October I bring a group of 8th grade students to Washington DC and we make the trip to Virginia to visit Mt. Vernon! This particular trip was a special one because my dad, who is pictured with me, got to come and experience the whole trip! It was great spending that time with each other! Kyle Underhill, 2019
