Along with education, preserving Mount Vernon is the primary mission of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association. Since taking possession of the property in 1860 the Ladies have sought to preserve and restore the historic structures and the landscape to their eighteenth-century appearance.
Today, the Restoration Department is comprised of two branches, archaeologists who study the underground remains of George Washington's Mount Vernon and architectural conservators who oversee the preservation of the Mansion and the plantation outbuildings. Together this professional staff works to ensure that visitors to Mount Vernon experience the property much as it was during George Washington's ownership.
