George Washington’s Mount Vernon is one of the most famous historic homes in the United States. Located along the Potomac River in Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C., Mount Vernon was the home of George and Martha Washington and became the center of Washington’s life as a Virginia planter, military leader, and eventually the first president of the United States. Today, the estate is preserved as a historic landmark and museum. (George Washington’s Mount Vernon)
The Mansion itself contains 21 rooms and measures about 11,028 square feet, standing two and a half stories tall with a full cellar. The oldest part of the house dates to 1734, when George Washington’s father, Augustine Washington, built the original one-and-a-half-story residence. George Washington began expanding it in the late 1750s and carried out another major expansion beginning in 1774, creating the impressive mansion recognizable today.

One of the mansion’s most recognizable features is its enormous two-story piazza, which stretches along the Potomac-facing side of the house. It served as an outdoor living and entertaining space where the Washingtons and their guests could enjoy the river breezes. The mansion also contains Washington’s study, formal parlors, dining rooms, bedrooms, the famous New Room, the cupola, and numerous other historic spaces. (George Washington’s Mount Vernon)
The New Room was Washington’s grandest room and features a two-story-high ceiling, elaborate architectural decoration, and period furnishings. Washington intended the room to make a strong impression on visitors. His study, meanwhile, became a private place where he handled business and correspondence after returning from the Revolutionary War. (George Washington’s Mount Vernon)
Mount Vernon was much more than just a mansion. During Washington’s lifetime, the estate expanded dramatically. By the time of his death in 1799, his Mount Vernon holdings covered approximately 7,600 acres, with five farms and more than 3,000 acres under cultivation. Washington experimented with crops, fertilizers, crop rotation, livestock breeding, milling, and other agricultural businesses. (George Washington’s Mount Vernon)
The estate also includes historic gardens, outbuildings, the Washington family tomb, a working-farm interpretation area, and museums and educational facilities. Modern Mount Vernon preserves approximately 500 acres of the historic property along the Potomac River and welcomes roughly one million visitors each year. (George Washington’s Mount Vernon)
George Washington’s connection to Mount Vernon lasted for most of his adult life. He began managing the property in 1754, inherited it outright in 1761, and continued improving it for decades. He died at Mount Vernon on December 14, 1799. The property remained in the Washington family until the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association purchased the Mansion and approximately 200 acres in 1858, beginning the preservation effort that continues today.

George Washington’s achievements were extraordinary. He served as commander in chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, presided over the Constitutional Convention, and became the first President of the United States, serving from 1789 to 1797. His leadership made him one of the central figures in the founding of the United States.
Mount Vernon therefore isn’t simply an old house—it is a place where visitors can see the home, working estate, gardens, and personal world of one of the most important figures in early American history, while also learning about the enslaved people whose labor sustained the Washingtons’ household and plantation. Today, the estate’s interpretation includes their lives and experiences as an essential part of Mount Vernon’s history. (George Washington’s Mount Vernon)
