Touring George Washington's Estate At Mount Vernon! 

My son is 7 and because of the corona virus has been stuck at home. He asked me about George Washington and Mt Vernon, we came across your video. He watched all of it! I never figured he would, now he wants to go and see it in person!!! Such a great video of it!! Thank you!!

Very respectful young man. Thanks for the video..

From an old soldier, ‘You did a respectable job in this video.’ You are a good American.

Im 38 years old. I took this tour 4 years ao. I loved it. The mansion is awesome. The property is beautiful, right on the river. Stunning mansion

What a nice, respectful young man! Your parents should be very proud!

Glad to see young people who can appreciate our history.

Great job narrating your video. Enjoyed it

This is awesome, thank you for sharing your experiences, I am so glad to see the younger generation interest in our great American history and journey, I am a huge fan of history, I live in Upstate NY where the name Lafayette can be found everywhere in the eastern states, named after Marcus Washington Lafayette who was one of George Washington's best friends and right hand man, Lafayette was a great explorer in the eastern side of the union Hence that name towns, Malls, Motels etc, etc, were named after him. The most important document in the world at least in my opinion is the Constitution of the United States of America not because Americans are better than anyone else in the world but because America is and always has been and always will be, the beacon of Freedom, and it was our founding fathers that become the true visionaries of our time. very cool and yet important stuff.

Nice job of the tour. Thanks for being respectful and minding your language so the whole family could watch. It was a pleasure.

Thank you so much for the tour! Geo Washington loved Mt Vernon & always longed to be there & manage his farm. When he was there he would ride over the whole estate checking out every part of it every day. He was such a good manager. But duty for his country called him away over & over. I believe after he finally got to retire he went on his daily check of his property & got caught in a rain storm, caught cold & quickly died right there in his bed. We are so blessed to have had such a dedicated Father of our country! Can’t wait to meet him & Martha in heaven & give them a great big thank you for their Dedicated service & tremendous sacrifices for our country! America is truly a blessed nation!

Great video! Thanks for visiting!

Thanks for not being a cancel culture video and appreciate history as it is. We cannot erase the past.

Mount Vernon is just amazing. Hope you enjoyed your visit. I’m obsessed with the National Treasure movies too.

21:30 appr. The sheathes of grain were brought into the upper level of the circular style barn and layed on the floor. the floor had small gaps so the grain would fall into the lower level as horses would walk circles across it. The straw then would remain on the top floor and then would be used as bedding for livestock and filling mattresses. Great tour, thanks for sharing.

You did a really great job showing the sites and explaining each feature. You also did an outstanding job orienting your viewers on the property. I noticed it right from the beginning and you continued to do it throughout, which I appreciated and helped me feel like I was right there with you! I also enjoyed the respect you both showed not only for the burial sites of the Washingtons and their slaves but for the history itself. I was really touched by Brennan's enthusiasm after the house tour and how she wanted to see everything and touch his bed! Her eyes were sparkling with excitement and I thought that was really cute and sweet and it was very clear that you were also very excited and interested in everything. As a 60 year old woman I was frankly very happily surprised by both of your reactions to this amazing experience. My hubby and I love history and would love to someday visit the historical sites of the revolutionary and civil wars and every museum we can but so far we haven't been able to make the trip from California (maybe next year!) So I'm really glad to see that you appreciate the great opportunity to visit a place of such great historical and cultural experience AND for doing such a fantastic job of sharing it with others. It's my first time on your channel but you were both so cute I'm definitely going to subscribe and see what other adventures await! (Btw I said it almost felt like I was on the tour with you but be glad I wasn't, I would have wrestled you to the ground and stole that delicious looking burger you were munching on (I may be old but I'm freakishly strong when I'm hungry and there's nothing I love more than a big juicy bacon cheeseburger!) 😋 Happy New Year from a history buff in Sacramento California (Gold Country!)

George Washington was in financial debt after the war of Independence. He sacrificed 8 years of his life to just fighting for our Independence. His estate was at over 60,000 acres at one time. America only had a population of 3 million at the time. It took him years to recover from his financial issues due to the war. He ended up selling large portions of his land to get out of debt. If anyone read about his life they would appreciate what he has done for America.

Thank you for the tour, my late husband and I went there many years ago on a coach tour but only saw the house. Very well done young man and lady, very respectful.

Good video. My family was exhausted walking Washington D.C. so when we returned to our hotel in Alexandria in around 2009 or so I went on my own and made it about 45 minutes prior to closing. I did a 45 minute speed walk of the grounds and inside the house. The big thing I remember is a massive storm rolling in and as I was standing between the house and the Potomac there was a wall of purple clouds moving in for the storm. After driving back to our hotel we left right away with refund since most of the power in the D.C. area was knocked out. We started driving out which was forunately the opposite side of the interstate from all the traffic stuck and not moving for many hours. Thanks for the video, as I enjoyed watching in detail what I missed that day.

Thanks a Lot! I am a Swiss/New Zealander but just watched the great Video series on George Washington and am reading a book about him and Martha now. So good to see what Mt Vernon looks like!

I have been once in late 60’s. It is STUNNING, so proud of our first President. He certainly stands alone amongst America’s leaders. I must go again!!

Wow ! Thank you for taking us along !!!

I felt the same way, Brennan. I wished I could have explored his house more! They definitely move you through the house quickly. It’s still great to see! Love the video, you two!

That was a highlight of my time on my 8th grade fully packed field trip that my mom worked double shifts to go for the weekend, to see George and Martha’s tomb, and Lincoln memorial... granted it was back in 1998 ish, when I took pics from a disposable camera! I love seeing it again 😊

Today my grandma was telling me stories about visiting Washington D.C. and George Washington's house. I'm so glad you made this video. I was suppose to visit that area for my honeymoon last year, but the government shut down along with most of the museums and monuments. So thank you for giving me a little piece of the history I have yet to see myself.

I visited Mount Vernon in 1985 with my wife, oldest son and my parents. As I watched your video there were many things that I didn't remember. I do remember going through the house and the tombs. We were actually able to enter the tombs then. The mansion was interesting as it was built in such a way as to appear that it was made of stone. The builders used wood boards and beveled the edges to make them resemble stone. Also if you notice the windows are even in number and placement. This was done by installing some non functioning windows. It was all about aesthetics. As you noticed there were a lot of fruit tress, especially apple trees. The reason for that is they were used to produce alcohol. Washington produced and sold a lot of alcohol.I hope to see more of your videos. I love history.

Thank you. Just lived it! 🙏🇺🇸🙏

Excellent tour. I love history, especially this timeline. Thx. You. You two are so cute.

I was there 56 years ago for a class field trip! They have it super organized now and you get to see more. Time to return.

Great Place George Washington House & God Bless America 🙏✝💗🇺🇸

Hi memories....visited there with my 8th grade graduating class of 1950!!...only memory I have....standing about half way up the hill between the home and the river....everything was green against the sparkling white house...very pretty. thank you very much! from nm

Many begged Washington to be king over the land, and he refused to be king. He was such a good guy!

Really good vid...as I will never make it back there, I now feel as tho I went...so good! TY TY TY

Appreciate the hang. Cool people. Captivating scenery. Thanks for the good time.

Great video ... your speaking voice is excellent and your female friend is so lovely. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience of history with us.

When I visited almost 10 years ago, I was amazed at the colors they used on the walls. We had an excellent guide.

Took this tour with you March 2, 2020! Enjoyed it very much. I've read a lot of books and seen a lot of films and TV series, but haven't been here at Mount Vernon for many decades, since I was a small child. Thanks for sharing, and I commend you on your excellent camera work!

President Washington, ever the entrepreneur -- he died with little money, but had for years been paid for his military service with land, but when he passed the estate Was wealthy because of all his land holdings -- would be I believe very proud of the historic museum preservation of Mount Vernon and the amazing tourist draw it has become. Thank you for sharing your visit and experience. For a wonderful comprehensive read, Ron Chernow's biography "Washington" presents a wonderful story and complement of the tour.

Brennan's _keeper._ You guys have great chemistry, well at least on screen. Blessing to you both.

I was there in 1976. There’s a lot of interesting stuff that was added to the tour.

thank you I fell the same way you guy do about history

Thanks for the tour. I don't know if I could ever bring myself to go because of 312 slaves being own. So it's tough to celebrate a man who would own humans. But I think that would be the reason to go, to honor the forgotten people in those unmarked graves. That part of the footage broke my heart.

After watching a series of George Washington I found this ..You both are so lovely and so respectful its just beautiful to see that maybe more people like you would learn from this and go out and discover our American history. I enjoyed it so much and want to thank you and say God bless you . It is important to mention, he inherited those slaves which he loved and grew up with . He desperately wanted to set them free way earlier then he did as his wife and him thought if they did people would start a rebellion as they were not educated enough to know slavery is wrong and they learned that they were just good people and george being a pisces born the day before me was sensitive to their feelings he cared so much for others . I just had to let people know it was not their fault this was hundreds of years ago sad but they loved him and martha loved them as her own family ..Thank you again much love 1776 God bless America united we stand

This is so nice. What a great and thoughtful idea to share something like this for people who are unable to get out and go to places like this. You did a great job on the video, too in explaining everything and giving a full understanding of where you are, where you came from, and where you're going and about the areas and all. Very nice. Thank you guys for sharing... It's so appreciated! 💕

I love Mt Vernon and have been there many times since 1976. It's change a lot in the past 43 since my first trip, and the entire story behind the MVLA is amazing. I completely enjoyed this video!! Thanks for creating and posting!

Thank you for the tour!!

Thank you for sharing this. Loved it.

This was an excellent video, thanks for sharing your trip for us!

I took this tour years ago, enjoyed this. It’s changed. We were taken straight to the house

Wow this was interesting, thank you for taking us on this tour.

Cool. I may not get to see this and didnt realize what I am missing. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I really enjoy the visit.

This was really good. A simple tour and I really enjoyed the entire thing. I agree with the young lady, history is more than a text book. Schools need to get back to field trips. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for posting this for us which enable us to tag along with you for a delightful tour. That bacon looked soooo good.

Thanks for the tour. And Brennan's eyes are to die for, beautiful, lol.

Thanks for the video. We were there 2 years ago in April. What a wonderful place. Watching your video brought back memories. Beautiful place to visit. Lots of history.

Thanks for bringing us on this tour. I've never done this. Also, I'm just happy you've accidentally dressed like Bender from The Breakfast Club movie.

I’m from New Jersey and have a lot of spots in the towns around me that General George Washington and his troops battled and camped at as well as other sites that were used by the British and Colonial.

I appreciate your sharing of the tour of Mount Vernon. Fine job. If you ever make it to Yorktown, VA you would certainly enjoy Surrender Field, and the history there. I would like to visit Valley Forge and the site of the Battle of Monongahela one day also. Cheers!

Thank you for this detailed tour. . I especially appreciated your stopping to interpret the various signs. . Well done, sir!

Thanks for taking us with you on your tour of Mt Vernon! Great job. Wish you well as you explore more of our National Treasure's!

You did a great job of showing and explaining the plantation. You both seem like such nice people, and thank you for showing and sharing w/us.

Thanks for the in-depth tour! I was there last fall when the trees were beautiful. I got there when it opened and there was very few people. I actually walked down to the tombs and I was there by myself. I am a big fan of Pres. Washington and have read a lot about him and his presidency. I agree with you about the house tour being frustrating. I didn't go upstairs as it was so crowded by the time my tour took place. I sat on the porch in a rocking chair overlooking the Potomac for a long while though. It's good that people see his home and understand how he treated his slaves. He was a man our country needed very badly at the time, and has not been matched in his value since. Thanks again, you did a great job!

This is really great. Thank you.

Thanks for giving us a tour of such a historical site. You did an excellent job, especially with showing the perspective of one place to another which is so rarely done. Thank you.

Wow, thank you for posting this. I love history...I wish I would have been interested in it when I was in high school many moons ago. LOL.

Great tour you two, thanks so much for sharing :-).

Great job on the tour! Thank you so much for being so respectful and explaining the tour at a good pace for us watching. 🙂

Excellent! thanks for taking us along on your tour. You did a great job!

Awesome tour. Thanks so much. I was last there many years ago. Looks like they have added several things since then. Good to see.

Very nice. Thank you. Done with a lot of respect and sensitivity and understanding of the time and even as I was in DC and lived in Williamsburg, I never got to Mount Vernon. Thank you for taking me there.

I love this video. Yall take me places I'll never be able to visit. So I get to see it through yall. Thank you for sharing..💗🇺🇸💗

Wow! You made a great tour guide! Thanks for sharing!

oyby, Thanks to you and your lady for this excellent tour of Mt. Vernon. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Wright Flyer, USAF (1968-1972).

Thank you for sharing! My husband was stationed there twice, once in 2004 and in 2007. The 1st time we went there it had not been turned into what it is now. In 2007 they had already started working on it and we loved it. We never got to finish looking around.

Thank you for the tour. I always wanted to go there but I will never be able to visit my self.

The young man looks just like Patrick Dempsey to me. Thanks for the tour. Love history.

This was great & fun to listen to. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks to Both of You. We enjoyed the tour. My Wife and I are 55yrs old and We’re thrilled to see that young people like you are interested in our Nation’s History! We hope both of you are still together. Your shared interest in history is a sign that you were made to share your lives together. Thanks so much and we completely agree with 30:40 💕

Thank you for sharing. I went there in the 1992 when I had family 👪 living over there. Thanks for the memories.

Excellent job done! Wonderful to see young people appreciating our history and Founding. Thanks!

You did a great job! You are such a great person, respectful and fun. Thank you for sharing!

Really enjoyed your video! Thank you for sharing it!👏👏👏👏👏👏💕💕💕

Awesome job, Thank you for this! I definitely need to go there to visit!

Thank you for sharing your video. Always wanted to visit Mount Vernon, still haven't made it . It would be nice if all school children could learn by visiting the actual sites.

Great job filming this and bringing it to life. Thank you.

Thank you. Your video was so respectful and very informative. I enjoyed it.

Very educational, thank you, makes me want to visit there myself. :)

Young man,your sunny disposition and genuine interest made this tour interesting to me also that you took the time to read each sign,Thank you!

Beautiful scenery

Great video! Thanks so much for sharing this experience with us!!!

God bless general George Washington he saved the United States long live general George Washington !

Excellent tour of George Washington's Mt Vernon.

Such a pleasant voice...beautiful visit. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.

I was thrilled to visit the place of President George Washington in 2001 and I remember looking at Potomac river from his house. It is such a beautiful place I remember.

Thank you so much for sharing. Many of us may not ever get a chance to visit other than studying it in school. We did get to visit Lincoln’s history, grave and museum in Springfield, Illinois.

Very - and both of them are terrific guides for this, couldn't be better. We went through with my Uncle, who had just come back from the war in the Pacific. There was hardly anyone there, and very little restoration of the out buildings. Couldn't go upstairs because it was a mess. The woman who spoke told us which furniture was or wasn't original - very homey, like you could almost lounge around. Thanks - great job! Be safe!

Oh that was a great tour! Your interaction with was so happy. Thanks!!!
