Mount Vernon

Mount Vernon is more than a handsome and historic estate, home of America's most famous hero. Washington's personality and interests are evident everywhere. Textbooks describe the General and the President, but Mount Vernon, as seen in this video program, tells us about the man. Washington's home is shown in its entirety, including the third floor, which is not usually viewed by the public. Finally, the nation's most celebrated fife and drum corps performs at Washington's Tomb.
