Teaching Resources Membership Donate Home   Christmas at Mount Vernon / Mount Vernon Annual & Collectible Ornaments Folk Art Animal Pull Toy Ornaments Horses, cattle, and sheep grazing in pastures and chickens strutting in fenced enclosures re-create the sights and sounds of life at George Washington’s Mount Vernon. Washington, a creative and experimental farmer, was more enthusiastic about animal husbandry than many of his 18th-century peers. The average colonial farmer – or even large colonial planters – did not raise nearly the number and variety of livestock that populated Mount Vernon. Washington bred livestock to provide strong work animals as well as wool, leather, meat, milk, butter, and perhaps most importantly to a farmer – fertilizer! The four animals in this set of pull toys ornaments are 2 ¼” wide and from 2 ¼” to 3” tall. Each ornament comes with a ribbon for hanging.
