Walkway to the main house.

Oh my, isn't it lovely!

The house tour begins in the formal dining room.

Next we saw the entry hall.

President Washington's bedroom.

Walking along the gallery walk towards the kitchen.

 
The kitchen was several yards away from the main house.

 A carriage such as the Washington's would have used.

 Mt. Vernon is a working farm including sheep and cattle.

A very emotional moment at President Washington's tomb.

  The rear veranda.

 President Washington's favorite view of the Potomac

And last but not least, Martha Washington's beautiful colonial dress.

Thank you for a lovely day!
