Teaching Resources Membership Donate Home   Sale Sale Sale George & Martha Ornament George Washington’s remarkable career as a soldier and statesman required that he criss-cross America during lengthy travels that, all told, kept him away from his beloved Mount Vernon for more two decades. At the end of every long journey, he was naturally glad to see the Mansion rising on the banks of the Potomac River and to find the greatest reward of homecoming –the loving embrace of his wife Martha. Excerpts from George Washington’s own writings bear witness to the fact the he derived great strength and solace from his wife, who without question, played a prominent role in her husband’s life and shared in his commitment and dedication to the public service of his country. This hand-crafted 24kt gold finish ornament shows George & Martha Washington outside the Mansion by the gardens. This ornament measures 2 ½” wide x 3 ½” high. Item #: 8778 Price: $11.00 Sale Price: $5.99 Qty: The Washington Family Poly Resin Ornament Collection
