Mount Vernon welcomes warmer weather with a festive Spring Garden Party on Mother's Day weekend, May 10 and 11, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Estate "springs" to life with 18th-century-style musical groups, Mrs. Washington and friends greeting visitors, garden tours, colonial games and dancing, and early-American gardening demonstrations. Visitors leave with party favors - free seed packets! - and may also purchase heirloom plants and garden items at the annual Gardening Days gift sale which ends on May 11. Activities are included in regular admission. Read more about Mount Vernon.
