Very good representation of life in the 18th century and George Washington's life and presidency. Hard not to be impressed. Toured the mansion, some of the out buildings, enslaved people's quarters, and recreation of a revolutionary camp, George and Martha's tomb, and the memorial to the enslaved people. Very interesting!

The mill and distillery were very educational and interesting. You don't really associate these places when you think of Mt. Vernon, but I will from now on. Seeing how Washington made full use of his land and resources falls in line with all you are taught about him.
The staff there are excellent. They know their stuff and made really interesting presentations.

Surprisingly new museum and restored (and replicated) attractions! Brief tours are enhanced by asking lots of Qs to dig deeper. Interesting to note current dilemma of "active commercial distillery" vs "museum". Very, very high price for the product!

Awesome place to take kids into engineering/Legos. The historical interpreters are amazing. We got to meet the lead distiller. Holly is great with interpreting the mill for kids. I highly recommend visiting for the staff, atmosphere and history.

It's a shame no so many people visiting here. You can see how a water mill is working and a rebuilt distillery for whisky that follows Washington's days method. You can also buy their whisky and cornflour from gift store.
