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.

Since our Mount Vernon tickets included entrance to the mill and distillery (3 miles from Mount Vernon; you can drive on your own or take the Mount Vernon courtesy shuttle), we drove over to the distillery arriving at 4:45. The mill tour guide said they would give the last tour right up until 5:00pm. Our tour started at 4:55 and only lasted 10 min, but we got to see the mill in operation and had a good explanation of its history and how it operates. The guide said they only give demonstrations on weekends. We walked as a group to the distillery and the guide was waiting for us even though it was after 5pm (5:07). He gave us a great description of the distilling process and the history of the distillery.

If you are visiting Mount Vernon this is a definite must to visit. It is included in the price of admission to Mount Vernon, you just hop on their complementary bus that takes you straight there. The people there are friendly and knowledgeable about their Mill and about the products that they produce. It is rebuilt in the style that George Washington built it in and it is a working mill now. There is also a small shop that carries all kinds of goodies if you would like something. I would highly recommend spending an hour or so of your time at Mount Vernon by stopping by here and seeing the Mill and little museum they have.
