George Washington turned his family’s home near present-day Washington, D.C. from a small one-floor dwelling into a three-story mansion. Now you can see it just as it was when our first president died on Dec. 14, 1799.

I’ve walked the grounds for more than 50 years. Growing up across the river from the mansion fueled a lifelong interest in Washington. Using many photos of the mansion and grounds, we’ll take a unique virtual tour of Mount Vernon from the key of the Bastille that hangs in the foyer and why rooms are painted green to the blacksmith shop and smoke houses surrounding the home. Understand why the gardens are both functional and ornate and learn how Washington fooled visitors into thinking the mansion was made of stone rather than wood. We’ll see both the past and present tombs of George and Martha. And yes, we’ll discuss Martha’s role that was instrumental in George’s rise and why she inspired the term “First Lady.”

Students can ask questions throughout class or even beforehand to ensure their learning goals are met. And, we'll have a fun quiz near the end to ensure everyone understands key points.

학습 목표

Why is George Washington considered our greatest president? Mount Vernon is a perfect example of his sacrifice to country over personal gain. “The General,” as he’s called at Mount Vernon, barely saw it for 15 years because of the Revolutionary War and presidency. Yet, he always yearned to return. Washington saw growing his plantation as parallel to our nation’s rise while his views on slavery predicted its eventual ending nearly 70 years before its official demise. 

We’ll also discuss a sometimes-overlooked role by Martha Washington, who was every bit her husband’s equal and partner in a time when few women were. If George wasn’t listening, the diminutive Martha was known to grab his collar to pull him down to her 4-feet-11 level. 

Finally, Washington’s agricultural influence was substantial in the colonies as the first planter to abandon tobacco while adopting crop rotation and even building a green house.

I'm a lifelong storyteller as a newspaper journalist of 42 years and a licensed tour guide for 10 years. I often take students on a walking tour of the grounds so I'm used to making it fun to hear. 

I grew up across the river from Mount Vernon and first visited in the 1960s. So, there’s not a corner of the property I haven’t seen. I enjoy telling the stories of “The General,” including those of his false teeth that are in the museum. 

I teach Lincoln assassination and George Washington’s Mount Vernon classes, but look for more Washington-based history lessons coming soon.
