Interpretive signs throughout the trail describe animals that once roamed the forests of Mount Vernon and identify those that still do. Visitors experience a tranquil and peaceful setting in a forest largely unexplored for 200 years. The beginning of the quarter-mile trail is at the George Washington: Pioneer Farmer site, which includes the 16-sided treading barn. Times change according to seasonal hours. Included in general admission. |
