This is the only guided portion of the estate and require a timed ticket (included with admission); however the time is just a guideline since tours of the mansion operate continuously. Long lines are common on weekends so consider doing this first.
Tour the original mansion that George Washington built, lived, and died in, then visit the outbuildings, gardens, and fields to learn more about history, farming, and the man. Periodic concerts, historical demonstrations, and other performances are held throughout the day. Tickets are $2 off online when purchased 3 days in advance.
