Virtual Field Trip to Mount Vernon

I visited the virtual tour for George Washington’s Mount Vernon Mansion. I was very intrigued by its name and wondered what this place was about. The Mount Vernon Mansion used to be where George Washington and his wife Martha Washington lived. It has rich history as well as lots of space and numerous facilities. Specifically, this mansion consists of multiple bedrooms, a kitchen, a blacksmith shop, gardens, farms, and a river. What I enjoyed the most about this virtual trip was seeing all the beautiful views. I loved seeing how huge each room was, especially the bed chambers. Each room seems to have their own unique charm. Overall, I enjoyed this experience and would recommend it for anyone who loves U.S. History.

The image above shows the Blue Room. It was originally part of the White Room. Washington used this room to store wood and lumber until it became a bed chamber. As the Blue Room started to look more like the image above, its walls were painted blue with a settle white pattern.

The Upper Garden, shown in the image above, was once used to grow fruit and nuts. Nowadays, this garden showcases flowers, vegetables, and has a green house as well.
