Welcome to George Washington's world! No matter what you want to know about America's first hero, this section of the Mount Vernon Web site has a wealth of information for you. 

Here you will find a brief biography for general readers, as well as special material for students and teachers. And be sure to check out our brand new feature for children (with lots more coming soon!), called Be a Mount Vernon Kid. 

As an important new feature, you are invited to access The Papers of George Washington Digital Edition in a separate window by following the related link at right!
