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
