The Mount Vernon Grounds

We continued walking around the grounds and viewed the Old Tomb as well as the New Tomb.  George and Martha Washington are on display in separate sarcophaguses.  Other family members are buried within an inner area of the tomb.

Later, we visited the Educational Center there.  There was a life-sized figure of Washington on his horse.  We also watched a short movie on the Revolutionary War that had lots of special effects, including fake snow!

Did they go down to the Pioneer farming section to see the 16-sided barn?
