Preserving Mount Vernon

The Mount Vernon Ladies' Association (MVLA) is the oldest historic preservation organization in the U.S., working to preserve the home of George Washington since 1859. Thanks to their work, Mount Vernon is one of the best-documented and most complete examples of an estate from early America. Because the preservation work is never complete, Mount Vernon's architectural historians continue to research and restore the historic structures for future visitors.

During this tour, walk among the outbuildings and receive an overview of the practices and processes used by architectural historians in their work. 

Please allow 10-15 minutes to walk from the Ford Orientation Center to the Mansion Circle to meet your guide.
