  Mary Washington House
by b1bob
 
 

George Washington's mama, Mary, lived here for the last few years of her life. She wanted to live close to her daughter Betty Fielding Lewis who lived at nearby Kenmore. President-elect Washington stopped here to receive his mama's blessing before traveling to his inauguration in New York. Among the most memourable of Mary's belongings in and around the house are a full-length mirror she called her favourite dressing mirror and a sundial which still keeps time in the garden. Admission is $5 for adults.
