New Exhibition Opens in the Donald W. Reynolds Museum
February 13
Rare Washington objects return to Mount Vernon for a new exhibition, Bringing Them Home: 150 Years of Restoring the Washington Collection, opening on February 13. The exhibition celebrates 150 years of Historic Mount Vernon opening to the public and the preservation efforts of the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association. Most items are being publicly exhibited for the first time, and many have not been at Mount Vernon since the Washingtons lived here. more
Early Opening and Seasonal Activities!
Beginning April 1
Historic Mount Vernon begins its summer schedule on April 1 by welcoming visitors an hour earlier, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., making it one of the few early-opening attractions in the Washington, D.C. area. For visitors looking to save a few “Washingtons” this year, Mount Vernon is offering special money-saving admission packages beginning April 1 through October 31.
In addition to extended hours, April 1 marks the seasonal opening of the George Washington: Pioneer Farmer site and George Washington’s Distillery & Gristmill. Potomac River sightseeing cruises, special walking tours on slave life and gardens, and a daily tribute at the tomb of George and Martha Washington also begin on the first of April. All activities at Mount Vernon are included in admission with the exception of the Distillery & Gristmill and sightseeing cruises, which require an additional fee. more
