May Livestream Events

Join us for Mount Vernon's family-friendly trivia game, and every Thursday after, at 4 pm ET in May! Mount Vernon experts will test their knowledge as they answer trivia questions related to Washington. But whose justification is more convincing? You get to decide! Watch the game to vote on who you think answered the question correctly.

Players can watch or play along. To play, people need at least two devices, such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Use one device to watch the game and the other to vote for your favorite Mount Vernon expert. The larger the screen, the more members of your family can play along. More than one person can vote per device! If you want to keep track of who in your household picks the right answer, keep a piece of paper handy to record your score.

Join authors Ryan Manion, Heather Kelly, and Amy Looney Heffernan as they discuss their book The Knock at the Door: Three Gold Star Families Bonded by Grief and Purpose. This Ford Evening Book Talk will feature a discussion with General John F. Kelly, U.S.M.C. (RET) and will be moderated by journalist Mary Katharine Ham.

Join author Vincent Brown LIVE as he discusses his new book, Tacky’s Revolt: The Story of an Atlantic Slave War with Washington Library's Jim Ambuske.

Every Monday, we'll be hosting a special livestream just for our Mount Vernon members! On Memorial Day, we welcome bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Rick Atkinson in conversation with Doug Bradburn as they discuss America at war.
