Mt. Vernon Mansion, the Home of Washington, Mt. Vernon, Va.

The back of this unused postcard gives a great note on Mt. Vernon-

Mt. Vernon is 16 miles below Washington, DC on the Potomac River in Va.  It was inherited by Washington from his half-brother, Lawrence, in 1743, the Mansion being occupied by him shortly after his marriage in 1759.  Here he lived in dignified retirement after his terms as President until his death in 1799.  The grounds consist of 200 acres and the Tomb of Washington is here.  The entire estate is under the management of the Mt. Vernon Ladies Association who by raising $200,000 acquired it by purchase in 1860.  The restoration equipment and keeping of the rooms in the Mansion is entrusted to the women of the different States represented in the Board of Vice-Regents.  Among the principal rooms are the rooms Washington died in, the room Martha Washington died in, and Lafayette's room.
