By
Real Estate Agent with Integrity Real Estate Group

Admission is FREE on Presidents’ Day, Monday, February 18, 2013! 

It makes sense that George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate should be free for all visitors on President's Day.  The estate offers a lot of history and plenty to see.   It's a great time to enjoy roaming the grounds and the home.

There are a number of events planned for visitors to enjoy:

9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. - Breakfast with George Washington” on the 12-Acre Field Foodways demonstration, music, and samples offered while supplies last.

11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. “As I Know Him” in locations around the Historic Area. Meet people from Washington’s World as they share personal stories about Washington. 

2:00 – 2:30 p.m. - General Washington, We Honor You” on the Bowling Green. People from Washington’s World gather with guests to share selected stories with the "General", who reflects and speaks to the assembly.

3:00 – 3:30 p.m. - Wreath-laying ceremony at G Tomb
  

Expect there to be crowds.  The grounds open at 9 AM and close at 4 PM.

Wow, I was thinking this could be fun, until I got to the crowds part!  Maybe Sunday would be better, though we'd miss the breakfast sample.
