Encounter the People of Washington's World
Interpretive Performers provide Mount Vernon visitors with multiple perspectives on George Washington through the eyes of his family, friends, fellow revolutionaries, slaves, employees, and business associates - as well as curious travelers, who were drawn to Mount Vernon in the 18th century just as they are today. Meet real people telling real stories of George Washington and the world he inhabited through our two daily programs: Engaging Encounters and Washington's World.

Engaging Encounters
Encounter the people who lived at, worked at and visited George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate between the years 1787 and 1799. As you tour the Mansion grounds you may meet anyone - from his slaves and hired workers, to friends and family, to government and business associates. Or perhaps simply curious travelers, like yourself, stopping by on a journey.
