Touring George Washington's Mount Vernon

Explore Mount Vernon, George Washington's beloved Virginia estate. When he wasn't off leading the army during the American Revolution, or in NYC & Philadelphia during his presidency, he was here. In this video I describe how a typical day for Washington might have gone. I show you the mansion, the grounds, the tombs, Washington's dentures, his favorite breakfast food, and more :) Don't forget to check out the links below!

He may have died from all the bloodletting too. He lost about 40% of his blood. But who knows. His doctors were at his bedside, a third younger doctor came along. He told the two older doctors that there was a new technique called a tracheostomy. They wouldn't let him do it. If that had been done on Washington early enough he probably would have survived. Considering what he did for this country, it really sucks that he died 2 weeks before the next century.

My wife and I visited Mt Vernon about 5 years ago. What a beautiful place. You can feel the history in your soul. Arlington is also a great place to visit.

[@laikathunderchild5746]

Thank You so much for showing us around such an amazing estate. History oozes out everywhere.

[@TheCuriousWorld]

Thanks for watching!

[@fabiano9277]

Maybe i should visit the U.S.A. So many interesting places. 😎

I wish I could speak as clearly as you, your enunciation is really impressive

[@stevenwolff6866]

I've been there twice and wouldn't hesitate to go again. Everywhere you step you're looking at history. Btw you have a terrific voice for narration. Very clear & pleasant to listen to

[@philc494]

Amazing video - love your narration voice, the quality of video footage, the seamless flowing between subjects - I really felt as if I had traveled back in time.

[@TheCuriousWorld]

Thanks, Phil, I really appreciate it!

My favorite room is the NECESSARY room inside the outside house.

A very good video - concise and informative.

[@markbarnes6806]

Love this. Visited 44 years ago, and would like to see again.

[@sjsconcepts6760]

Great video. I am going to Mount Vernon tomorrow and I am sooo excited! Thank you

[@TheCuriousWorld]

I hope you had a good time!

[@MatchaJazmin]

Wow, and I live nearby and haven’t gone because no one else was interested to come with. But I’ll have to go check it out myself. Nicely edited vid by the way!

[@TheCuriousWorld]

It's definitely worth checking out! And thank you :)

Down here in Ecuador I get Corn pancakes for 80 cents each. They are called 'Tortillas De Choclo'.

[@MrWhitelightning73]

We’re going in July. Trying to plan our trip. I thought I saw a steamboat tour there but not sure.

[@justinianoportraits]

Great video

[@chrisgacek8089]

You have a wonderful way of presenting history. It was so interesting to hear what you considered important. The discussion of how Washngton had to fight with his dentures was brilliant. That is something I have heard anyone assess, and I think you are clearly correct. That was a great insight. That focus would be worth getting a grant from Mt Vernon and working with modern dentists to discuss in far greater detail. Many mention the dentures, but you made them real things with big problems.

[@TheCuriousWorld]

Thank you for this comment. I had never considered applying for grants from historical institutions before! I would have assumed that sort of thing was reserved for students/scholars only

[@chrisgacek8089]

Modern Mount Vernon is a creative organization. I see a huge range of videographers that make great contributions on Vimeo, KZbin. Look up the MV Historical Ass’n / whatever it’s called- contact them with a plan / concept. Why do we need a video about GW and X? Well, nobody has ever gone to modern dentists, asked about materials, the springs, toxicity (lead?). Perhaps a pair could be made and a live denture wearer could try them on - since you have teeth and a great smile. Do you see how I am thinking about this? Ask them for their assistance? I promise they will be flattered. Rightly so.

[@TheCuriousWorld]

You've given me great food for thought, I will definitely look into these organizations. Thank you again, I really appreciate it!!

[@stephenburns3678]

Thank you

[@russkiy6ot]

It’s a fascinating experience, but everyone tends to gloss over the whole slavery thing

[@royjacobson5561]

They need to do more repair on this house, it is not done yet. And of course need some paint job.

[@Teko_Tekor]

Best wishes on Columbus Day. I'm enjoying your telling stories. Thank you, Bridget! Some day, I'll tell you how I uncovered you ...

[@carlthornton8706]

Very Good!... 15 🐄🦉🏴‍☠

[@user.s.o.f.i1234]

I went there for a school field trip it was fun but a lot of walking and I got to see his grave and his wife’s grave also I saw his whole house but I didn’t get to see the 3rd floor because they didn’t let us I don’t know what’s up there?❤❤

[@agilaeric1987]

Seeing Washington's actual teeth makes us thankful for modern medicine and technology.
