Field Trip to Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens
Basic Information
There are extra special discounts for Title one schools. They can be seen here.
Mount Vernon is open 365 days of the year but according to tour guides at Mount Vernon the best time of the year to go there on a field trip is in the spring on a “colonial day.” On those days the Mount Vernon staff dresses up like people from colonial times and actually work on the land the way that it was worked on when George Washington was alive. You can see the calendar of events at the location here.
