And what a wonderful job they did, JFK held his first state dinner on that beautiful lawn.
I believe that’s John Augustine Washington III standing on the portico. GW’s great grand nephew, he was the last of the Washingtons to live at Mount Vernon. He served in the Civil War as an aide to Robert E. Lee and was killed at the Battle of Cheat Mountain.
Women, getting the job done agaiin-
Wow. Amazed that it was allowed to get in that condition.
Tell me more, tell me more .....

Thank God for the ladies!
Wow! Many thanks to the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association.
Oh thank goodness it was saved This was one of the most interesting places I visited in Jr High History that is LIVED sticks longer than anything read in a book.

That's a picture of the back porch. Visit Mount Vernon today and you'll see a beautifully-restored estate.pic.twitter.com/Fw1RmXzY9V
The federal gov declined to purchase Mount Vernon or Monticello. Not part of the NPS. "In 1914 [Levy] offered the federal government the opportunity of purchasing Monticello, but after much congressional rhetoric on the subject, no funds were forthcoming." https://www.monticello.org/site/jefferson/levy-family-and-monticello …
Wow, that looks nothing like the Mount Vernon you can visit today.
MY GOD, HOW COULD THEY NOT WANT TO PRESERVE THIS???
Michael, any idea who the guy on the porch is?
Cool!
