Visit to Mount Vernon Highlights Washington Era Relics
The editors and Ed J Wells with H B Kidgley view Mount Vernon near the Potomac. The mansion houses 18th century furnishings, East and West rooms, Library, dining rooms, Mrs Washingtons sitting room, and the banquet hall. On the upper floor are rooms where George and Martha Washington died, the Lafayette room, and more. The tomb is a brick structure with caskets visible through a front grate. Monuments to Washington relatives stand near the new tomb. The 1753 barn, Washington carriage, and colonial kitchen with its utensils remain on site among ancient trees and flower gardens.
