Mt Vernon mansion from the front (Apr 24)



The mansion hasn't changed much since we saw it previously several decades ago.

What has changed is that there are more buildings open, more artifacts viewable, more interpretative displays and a cruise option (which we didn't take).

One of the oddities about GW is his teeth. He had 8 different sets of dentures. None of them was made of wood, notwithstanding the legend. Many of GW's teeth were stored at the U of Maryland Dental School Museum of Dentistry in Baltimore.
