This is Mount Vernon, George Washington’s home.  I used to work here as a 3rd-person interpreter and an archaeological gopher.  I’m very fond of it and I’m here to put in a shameless plug.

The estate is in need of a lot of repair and conservation work, particularly the large dining room (second image).  It has been entered in Partners for Preservation.  You can help out by voting for Mount Vernon at https://www.preservedmv.com/.
