Take in the sights and sounds of the marketplace on Mount Vernon's 12-acre field and chat with colonial artisans selling traditional handcrafted food and wares.

Colonial music transports you back to the 18th century as expert artisans demonstrate period crafting techniques. Learn how the Washigntons enjoyed ice cream and watch as interpreters demonstrate the process. There's plenty of fun for the whole family.
