About us
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 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. Visit Mount Vernon to explore the mansion, museum, lush gardens, a working farm, gristmill and distillery! Admission fees, restaurant and retail proceeds, along with private donations, support the operation and restoration of Mount Vernon.

What better way to celebrate World Tourism Day! 🌍 I had the distinct honor of welcoming and escorting Mexican Ambassador, Esteban Moctezuma Barragán, his wife, distinguished members of the Embassy of Mexico, and the Mexican Cultural Institute D.C. on a tour of Fairfax County. We explored the region’s rich heritage with a visit to George Washington's Mount Vernon followed by a tasting at Paradise Springs Winery, where we also learned about its history and Virginia’s agricultural traditions. We concluded the day with a tasting of River-Sea Chocolates, gaining insight into their impressive commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship. It was a memorable day exploring Visit Fairfax (Fairfax County, VA) celebrating tourism, culture, and collaboration! #WorldTourismDay #embamexeua #mexculturedc #virginiaisforlovers
