Panorama of the Upper Garden

At the heart of the Virtual Tour is a set of beautiful 360 degree panoramic images that you can fully control and view. 

Tour every major room within the Mount Vernon Mansion, and see the upper garden, kitchen, the Fred W. Smith National Library for the Study of George Washington, and George Washington's Gristmill & Distillery.

Many of our panoramas were filmed in locations that are not always open to the public, giving you unparalleled access.

Engaging the Virtual Tour is easy. Just use your mouse, trackpad, or finger to move left or right and up or down. These motions will enable you to see ornate ceilings, original floorboards, and all around you, giving you an exciting, full-immersion experience.

 

Clickable Points of Interest

Each of our virtual tour panoramas includes a number of clickable points of interest. These clickable points allow viewers to learn more about a variety of details which include artwork, objects, architectural elements, buildings, archaeological sites, furniture, plants, books, and more. Stories of human and historic interest are also connected to the viewable locations as well.

Each of our points of interest include images and text descriptions that bring topics vibrantly to life. By zooming in you can see the stunningly intricate details of paintings, sketches, and other fascinating objects. 

And if you would prefer to travel through the panoramas without the displayed clickable points, you can click on the point's toggle to turn them on and off.

Videos from our Experts

We have infused the Mount Vernon Virtual Tour with videos from our character interpreters, curators, and other Mount Vernon experts. Now you can have 24/7 access to those who know the most about the objects, architecture, and landscapes featured on the Tour.

Other videos, such as our hopper boy video found on the Gristmill Fourth Floor panorama, bring to life all of the intricacies of our fully-functioning gristmill - from the inter-working movement of the gears to the exciting sound of full production.
