Touring on the Weekends: A Photo Journal - George Washington's Home (Mount Vernon)

These are some of the storage buildings. The one on the right stored Washington's single-seat carriage. It was more maneuverable than the four-wheel carriage because it only had two wheels. It was kind of like the sports car of Washington's day. You can see the Potomac River in the background.
This garden area is adjacent to Washington's fruit tree orchard

A Robin enjoys the beautiful day!

The gardens were very well kept!

The subject in this photo is the garden house (It is basically the garden shed).

Mount Vernon estate


This is the garden where Washington grew all of his new experimental plants.
