Mount Vernon, VA

 Mount Vernon is the home of George and Martha Washington.  We enjoyed seeing how many buildings made up the plantation, how things might have run, and how beautiful the area was.  The visitors' center also told several stories and had many artifacts from the time.

Washington innovated many farming techniques.  This was a custom curved mill to attempt more efficiency.
