Stroll through the 18th-century gardens and grounds, visit the Washington family tombs, meet heritage-breed animals, and interact with people from Washington's world. See original objects in the museum galleries, including George Washington's sword. An audio tour of the estate is included with the grounds pass. A separate tour ticket is required to access the Mansion. A limited number of Mansion tour tickets are available at the gate on a first-come, first-served basis.
