We look forward to seeing you all online!

In 1775, as discontent with British taxation roiled the North American colonies, Colonel George Washington began the second expansion of his Mansion house, creating the distinctive form that is today one of America’s most iconic structures. Following Washington’s footsteps 250 years later, carpenters and masons are again at work on the most ambitious preservation project in Mount Vernon’s history. Designed to prepare Washington’s home for its fourth century, the Mansion Revitalization project incorporates a holistic approach that aligns intensive documentary and forensic investigation with extensive structural repairs.

Thomas A. Reinhart, Mount Vernon’s Director of Preservation; will offer a behind-the-scenes look at ongoing work and share highlights of recent discoveries about the Mansion’s evolution and Washington’s architectural and engineering innovations.
