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.
