Touring George Washington's Mount Vernon

Explore Mount Vernon, George Washington's beloved Virginia estate. When he wasn't off leading the army during the American Revolution, or in NYC & Philadelphia during his presidency, he was here. In this video I describe how a typical day for Washington might have gone. I show you the mansion, the grounds, the tombs, Washington's dentures, his favorite breakfast food, and more :) Don't forget to check out the links below!

What an absolutely charming video, I would easily believe you were the history channel or a huge production. So natural and well done! Thank you

I've been there twice and wouldn't hesitate to go again. Everywhere you step you're looking at history. Btw you have a terrific voice for narration. Very clear & pleasant to listen to

Thanks for the outstanding visual tour of Mount Vernon. I have been there numerous times. Every year on the date of Washington's Birthday they have free admittance. Its a beautiful and very interesting place. The view of the Potomac River is majestic!

My wife and I visited Mt Vernon about 5 years ago. What a beautiful place. You can feel the history in your soul. Arlington is also a great place to visit.

I wish I could speak as clearly as you, your enunciation is really impressive

Really appreciate this! Used it in our study of VA

Wow, and I live nearby and haven’t gone because no one else was interested to come with. But I’ll have to go check it out myself. Nicely edited vid by the way!

He may have died from all the bloodletting too. He lost about 40% of his blood. But who knows. His doctors were at his bedside, a third younger doctor came along. He told the two older doctors that there was a new technique called a tracheostomy. They wouldn't let him do it. If that had been done on Washington early enough he probably would have survived. Considering what he did for this country, it really sucks that he died 2 weeks before the next century.

Amazing video - love your narration voice, the quality of video footage, the seamless flowing between subjects - I really felt as if I had traveled back in time.

Love learning history form you! Keep posting your great videos! :-)

You have a wonderful way of presenting history. It was so interesting to hear what you considered important. The discussion of how Washngton had to fight with his dentures was brilliant. That is something I have heard anyone assess, and I think you are clearly correct. That was a great insight. That focus would be worth getting a grant from Mt Vernon and working with modern dentists to discuss in far greater detail. Many mention the dentures, but you made them real things with big problems.

A very good video - concise and informative.

We’re going in July. Trying to plan our trip. I thought I saw a steamboat tour there but not sure.

My favorite room is the NECESSARY room inside the outside house.

Down here in Ecuador I get Corn pancakes for 80 cents each. They are called 'Tortillas De Choclo'.

They need to do more repair on this house, it is not done yet. And of course need some paint job.
