Mount Vernon Gardens


Located overlooking the Missouri River, as George Washington's estate Mount Vernon overlooks the Potomac, Mt. Vernon Gardens is a half-scale replica of Washington's estate. This historic park was redeveloped to restore its historic integrity while providing accessible paths. Extensive research on the Gardens' original development, a site inventory and interviews with maintenance staff and the Mount Vernon Ladies Association, owner of the Mount Vernon estate in Virginia, guided the redevelopment.
