Discover Archaeology at Mount Vernon

Visit the Family Hub at the Bowling Green to learn about the archaeological process. Here, you can explore our activity stations to participate in your own miniature dig, put broken objects back together, and make your own replicas out of clay. 

Continue to explore at home with the take-home craft kit and broken plate puzzle (while supplies last).

Plus, hear our resident fifer in his Music of the Revolution Program at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. (Saturday only). Join Mount Vernon education staff for a story program at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Please note that the estate will not offer sensory-friendly hours for this event.
