Watch the mighty gears turning and the stones grinding at Washington's reconstructed Gristmill, where Washington produced flour and cornmeal. Within our functioning reconstructed distillery, you can see where we make George Washington's whiskey. In 1799, it was one of the largest whiskey distilleries in America. The Distillery & Gristmill is located less than three miles from George Washington's Mount Vernon and free shuttles run continuously from 10 am–5 pm.
