We went for a George and Martha presentation. It was excellent! But just as important, the communication prior to the event was very useful. They made the guest aware of changes, directions, and new info. The Friends and volunteers were very friendly and welcoming. The grounds are lovely. We look forward to returning when the Martha mannequin is finished and resides with the George mannequin. Kudos to all who worked hard on making this a wonderful event.
This is an interesting place. Tours of the site are by appointment, check their website for information. Tickets, which are free, are required for the tours. They also conduct special programs, today Martha Washington was in attendance, next week it’s “Preserving the Harvest.” Sign up information in the website.
Parking was a little confusing, follow the arrows on the gates… one parks away from the historic house and then takes a walking path to the the museum store and the rest of the buildings. The site is accessible ♿️, though the path is rocky. Several people went by on their wheelchairs without trouble. The house itself has two floors, the second floor is reached by stairs.
Plenty of parking.
No food/drinks. No photos inside, which seems a shame and I wish these historic sites would allow photography. Made sense in the time of flashbulbs harming historic papers/artifacts, doesn’t make sense now.
It’s very beautiful but they won’t open back up until September 2 during the Labor Day holiday and they have a trail and it’s really steep lol
Highly recommend you tour last Washington Headquarters of the Revolutionary War. Lisa was very informative. Excellent period pieces. Lovely home built in 1710. No photos allowed inside so you must go to see George Washington himself as a surprise.
I've been passing by signs for this place the last 6 months. Finally made it a point to visit with the family. Five of my kids ages 6 to 20. Just a few miles from where we live and a totally different landscape. Beautiful! We did a 2pm tour with Lisa. She was very knowledgeable and animated. Which made a potential "boring" homeschool "field trip" more interesting for my 6yo. We arrived early so we took the trail at the side of the house to explore a bit of the D&R Canal.
