Mount Vernon's serene 12-acre field transforms into a battleground as Continentals, Redcoats, and Hessians conduct military drills, perform cavalry demonstrations, and engage in 18th-century tacticals.

Meet the soldiers who are encamped at Mount Vernon, discuss military techniques, and greet General Washington.
