Discover the Real George Washington: New Views from Mount Vernon

The exhibition goes beyond the iconic image on the dollar bill to reveal the real George Washington as not only a general and president but as a young land surveyor, experimental farmer and savvy entrepreneur. Washington’s views on religion and slavery, and the influence of his wife, Martha, are also explored in this exhibition, which features life-size figures of Washington developed through a cutting-edge forensic investigation, engaging videos, original artifacts, intricate three-dimensional architectural models and interactive displays. Approximately 100 original objects associated with George Washington – including the only surviving complete set of his famous dentures – will be on display. On view through May 29, 2011
