Overlooking the Potomac River, this estate once belonged to the Washington family, serving as George Washington's home for the majority of his life.

The mansion, distinguished by its colonial architecture, is meticulously preserved, complete with period furnishings and original artifacts from the Washington family. The estate also includes other significant structures like the outbuildings, slave quarters, and a functional gristmill and distillery, all reflecting the agricultural practices of the time. The expansive grounds feature a variety of gardens, from ornamental pleasure gardens to practical kitchen gardens, as well as the final resting place of George and Martha Washington, in a dedicated tomb. Adjacent to the mansion is the Wharf, offering picturesque views of the Potomac River, which played a significant role in Washington's commercial and personal life. The Pioneer Farm on the estate displays heritage breed animals and offers insights into 18th-century farming techniques. Visitors can engage with interactive exhibits in the interpretive center and delve deeper into Washington's legacy at the Fred W. Smith National Library.
