National Treasure Tour

Mount Vernon’s popular “National Treasure Tour” returns beginning March 1.  The tour is dedicated to the behind-the-scenes filming of the blockbuster movie National Treasure: Book of Secrets at Mount Vernon. The National Treasure Tour combines Hollywood and history, giving visitors stories about the filming and also information on how the locations were used during George Washington's time.  Included in this approximately hour-long walking tour is the Mansion's basement and cornerstone, the setting for a pivotal scene. Fans of the movie will recognize the space as the location where Nicolas Cage's character kidnaps the president.

This special tour costs $5 per tour in addition to Estate admission. Click here for tickets to the National Treasure Tour.

Please be aware that this is an extensive walking tour that covers steep steps in the Mansion and a walk down a long hill to the wharf.
