George Washington Birthplace NM


Walking in Washington's Footsteps

In the heart of the Northern Neck of Virginia stands a tribute to America’s founding father, George Washington. Although only here a short time, the ideas that Washington learned here, helped shape the man he would become and forever alter the destiny of the United States of America.

Started with a stop at the VC and took in a good movie on the farm and George Washington's childhood. The home here is not the original Birthplace of George Washington, that home was destroyed by fire in 1779. We then spent some time walking the farm and meeting the resident horse's and other livestock. The park is a working farm but being it's the winter season there were no activity's going on that's normally going on in the Summer. After the farm we headed down to the beach and the girls got to have some fun. We would recommend a summer visit, but if you want to have the a little peace and quiet then a winter visit works well.
