Dog at Mount Vernon

This photo was taken at George Washington's Mount Vernon in Alexandria, VA. During George Washington’s lifetime, many beloved dogs lived with him and Martha at Mount Vernon in Alexandria. While your pooch is not able to venture inside the historic mansion today, there is still plenty to keep both of you busy on this 50-acre estate. Bring Fido to spend time in the gardens, visit George Washington’s tomb, and enjoy breathtaking views of the Potomac River from the piazza. On select Saturdays in the spring and fall, bring your dog for the All the President's Pups Tour. This 1.25-mile walking tour explores canine life at the estate. Along the way, learn about George Washington's love for man’s best friend and his efforts to improve the quality of his hunting dogs through breeding.
