This is the home where George Washington's mother spent the last seventeen years of her life. Our docent, Heather, was so knowledgeable and answered all our questions. I bought her cookbook, too.

This is the house that George Washington bought for his mother Mary and she only lived in the middle section of this house. She would be closer to her doctor and daughter that lived at nearby historic Kenmore. George stopped by here on his way to his inauguration in New York City for his mother's blessing. The Marquis de Lafayette also visited Mary because he wanted to see the mother of his friend George Washington. Mary Washington University here is also named after her. No pictures were allowed inside. The lady that gave us a tour is very knowledgeable and so passionate about her job that my wife and her were in tears.

Authentic house, although greatly changed since Mary Washington was there. Guide gives a tour and information about the downstairs and then you get to view the upstairs on your own. I took away one star because of the two guides, one large lady was sitting down trying to catch up on sleep and occasionally checking her cell phone. Although I was guided around by the second person, this was really awkward.
