Preservation Weekend: May 4-5, 2013

Mount Vernon is celebrating more than 150 years of historic preservation with a special weekend of activities. Join us May 4 and 5 for exclusive behind-the-scenes tours led by our archaeology, preservation, and collections staff.  Inside the Mansion, you’ll see conservation in action as experts tackle Mount Vernon’s most extensive preservation project to date, the restoration of the Large Dining Room, or “New Room.”  Enjoy preservation-themed activities for children in our Hands-On-History room inside the Donald W. Reynolds Museum and Education Center.  All Preservation Weekend activities are included in your regular estate admission ticket.
