Wheat-Treading Demonstrations

To celebrate Washington the farmer, Mount Vernon’s farm staff kick-off the season on the Fourth of July with wheat-treading demonstrations at the George Washington: Pioneer Farmer site. Costumed staff lead Mount Vernon’s horses as they tread wheat in the 16-sided barn at 10:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 3:00 p.m. Visitors witness Washington’s innovative treading process and learn first-hand how Washington separated grain from straw.

Alliance for Liberty: Military Encampment

In September 1781, General Washington and French general Rochambeau traveled to Mount Vernon and created a bold strategy which led to the siege of British forces at Yorktown. In commemoration of the 230th anniversary of this historic visit, Mount Vernon will come alive with hundreds of Revolutionary War reenactors, including "General Washington" and "General Rochambeau." Stroll the camp, talk with the soldiers, and watch military demonstrations throughout the day.

Included in Estate admission.
