The presidential library of our first president, newly opened in September 2013, has been described as
“a spectacular masterpiece.” Digital archives together with the actual books and manuscripts that once
lined the shelves of George Washington encourage and promote the next generation of scholars to
reflect and learn from the challenges that faced our fledgling nation.
Following a guided tour of the library and a lunch break, we will visit the Mansion in the historic area at
Mount Vernon. This iconic residence has been meticulously restored to its 1799 condition and reflects
the character, tastes and accomplishments of George Washington. Treasured objects and artifacts depict
the social and domestic practices of the time. Later, explore the historic area, the gardens and the Donald
W. Reynolds Museum and Education Center. Re-board the deluxe motor coach tired, but inspired for
the relaxing return trip to Rosemont.
