George Washington’s Mount Vernon - 20% discount for July 24-26 (NOTE: depending upon participation and interest, Mount Vernon is considering this as a YEAR-ROUND offer!  So, please do try to squeeze in a visit during our reunion weekend)

Mount Vernon is the most popular historic estate in America and is open 365 days a year. Since 1860, more than 85 million visitors have made George Washington’s Mount Vernon the most popular historic home in America. A privately-owned national treasure, Mount Vernon is maintained and operated by the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association. Since purchasing the estate from the Washington family and assuming stewardship in 1858, the Association has embraced a heroic mission to preserve, protect, and maintain the estate for the American people, relying exclusively on private donations, admission fees, and restaurant and retail proceeds. Through robust education and outreach programs, the Association expands awareness about the exceptional life and character of George Washington, sustaining his legacy through research, interpretation, and public education. In experiences on the estate and through its digital outreach platforms, Mount Vernon strives to preserve George Washington’s place in history as “First in War, First in Peace, and First in the Hearts of His Countrymen.”

With its latest initiative, The Fred W. Smith National Library for the Study of George Washington, Mount Vernon is affirming its status as the preeminent center of learning about George Washington, his life, character of leadership, and legacy. In addition to safeguarding original books and manuscripts, the Library serves as a center for leadership, where scholars, influencers, and other luminaries come together to talk about the past as well as the future, inspired by Washington’s extraordinary life, achievements, and character.

Admission fees, restaurant and retail proceeds, along with private donations, support the operation and restoration of Mount Vernon. Visit www.mountvernon.org for hours and admission rates.

 

Mount Vernon Inn Restaurant - 10% discount for lunch and a 20% discount for dinner July 24-26 (NOTE: depending upon participation and interest, Mount Vernon is considering this as a YEAR-ROUND offer!  So, please do try to squeeze in a visit during our reunion weekend)
