The Friends of Mount Vernon is a committed group of donors from all 50 states who are united by their admiration for our nation's first and greatest patriot, George Washington.  Their generous annual contributions are a critical element of unrestricted support for the preservation of Washington's beloved home and historic estate, as well as for education programs that take Mount Vernon – and all that it stands for – beyond the estate walls and into schools across America.

George Washington once said, “I can truly say I had rather be at home at Mount Vernon with a friend or two about me …”  Now is your chance to become a friend of the “Father of our Country” by joining the Friends of Mount Vernon.
