Washington’s Mount Vernon attracts increasing visitors as years pass. The estate’s grounds and trees improve, while four giant oaks near the entrance stand as enduring sentinels. Civil War damages were repaired with funds from EB Everett and others, and upkeep now relies largely on admission fees from about 100000 annual visitors.

Mount Vernon Kept in Colonial Tone by Modern Upgrades
The Mount Vernon estate advances preservation with a complete hot water system heating the mansion and outbuildings while maintaining colonial ambience. A subterranean boiler and hidden radiators serve the rooms through grills, and the old kitchen with brick floor and unplastered walls has been restored. Guardianship by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association saved the property from decay as Washington descendants opposed Congress or Virginia delaying restoration, though the mansion remains spacious yet awkwardly subdivided with rooms arranged for guests and early hours.
