The thirteenth annual 18th-Century Craft Fair at Mount Vernon re-creates an early-American marketplace where artisans demonstrate their crafts and sell their wares. Lively performances by entertaining acts showcase amazing but true 18th-century amusements!
Mount Vernon is the most popular historic estate in America. Located just south of Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, the plantation rests on the banks of the Potomac River. Mount Vernon was the beloved home of George and Martha Washington from the time of their marriage in 1759 until General Washington's death in 1799. He worked tirelessly to expand his plantation from 2,000 acres to 8,000 and the mansion house from six rooms to twenty one.
You are invited to tour the Mansion house and more than a dozen outbuildings including the slave quarters, kitchen, stables, and greenhouse. Stroll four different gardens, hike the Forest Trail, and explore the George Washington: Pioneer Farmer site, a four-acre working farm that includes a re-creation of Washington's 16-sided treading barn. George and Martha Washington rest in peace in the tomb where wreathlaying ceremonies are held daily, and the Slave Memorial and Burial Ground is nearby.
Lunch is included at the Mt. Vernon Inn
