Kenyon is a George Washington super fan. From his first day visiting Mount Vernon he loved touring the house, walking the grounds, and exploring the museum...so much so that we purchased a family membership. Kenyon poured over the beautiful photos in the book members receive, many bed times have been spent reading him excerpts. One particular memorable day at Mount Vernon was getting a chance to meet Kenyon’s favorite historical figure at the 2019 George Washington Birthday Celebration. Kenyon hoped to meet Washington so he chose to wear his costume to be just like him. In a truly touching moment their paths crossed. Kenyon is diagnosed with selective mutism which makes it hard for him to talk when anxious/nervous so we were so proud of him finding the courage and few words to greet George Washington. Washington briefly talked with Kenyon and took a photo with him. The moment was small, but it was big Kenyon. To this day he continues to read books about Washington, dress up like him, and take his GW doll on adventures around the house. We feel lucky to live so close to such an educational, fun, and beautiful place. Heather Miner, 2019
