George Washington Memorial Pkwy.
Mount Vernon, Virginia 22309

This four-acre site features rare-breed farm animals similar to the varieties Washington had at his farms. Seasonal activities guide visitors through history and 18th century horsing around at the newly re-created 16-sided round barn, as horses and mules walk the circular second floor treading wheat. The cultivated area includes eight fields, and illustrates Washington's advanced farming practices and crop rotation scheme.
