I helped split some cyprus shakes for My Vernon. I found a clay pipe on Douge Creek near the grist mill. The archeologicist decided it was a drop. I loved living next to My Vernon and on non preserved parts of the farms from 65 to 95. It just got to expensive and we ( my wife and myself) to rural SC. There is a lot of history here but I do miss boating on the Potomac River.
OMMGG!! me and my brother planned a trip to Seattle so we could drive and visit the White House....im 33 years old and hes 36 and we NEVER KNEW THAT WASHINGTON D.C. is not in Washington we had to cancel everything last minute and that was 2yrs ago and im still in shock lol!
Do you mean the reclining Howdy Doody? The first time I saw it, I thought, "Isn't that pose a little seductive for a _boy_ marionette without strings?" I became fascinated by puppets (worked with a hand inside) and marionettes (worked with strings) due to "Howdy Doody," with host, "Buffalo" Bob Smith and "Kukla, Fran, and Ollie," Burr Tilstom's creations. I still remember some of the antics of Clarabelle the Clown (male, actually) on Howdy Doody and Beulah the Witch on KF&O. I had a Howdy Doody marionette, whose mouth was spring-loaded and operated by a string in the back with a ring on it like a ventriloquist's dummy (never knew why).
When I visited Mt. Vernon in 1961, I was in awe of it. I was in the home of the greatest man in the history of our country. It was so beautiful situated on the banks of the Potomac River. The trees were so beautiful, too. George had planted many of them. He was truly a wonderful man. 11:36
That goes without saying but remember blacks owned slaves as well and throughout history all people have been slaves and lastly you can still by slaves today
@@patmoore7959 Blacks want to push the White people are evil agenda put forth by their Plantation puppet Government. Which is exactly why even today they are STILL slaves to this Government. They aren't intelligent enough to decipher it, which is why it continues today.
I visited Mt. Vernon on a field trip in 8th grade. Before entering, we had to go through a ticket booth run by 2 older ladies. As we walked through, one of the ladies said "Nobody gets past us without a ticket!", while the other lady nodded her head in vehement agreement. And this all happened just as me and my buddy walked past without showing our tickets 😝
I am the photographer for Mt Vernon (as of recently) and I was doing a shoot there last night, and some spooky stuff happened. I am still shocked by it!
were Georgy porgies teeth chattering in the night? Knock on wood LOL but no in all honesty I do not doubt you. would like to know what you saw or herd.
Disagreement on the reason of his death? I’d say he had throat infection and draining 40% of his blood was literally the nail in the coffin. And I heard the older physician would not allow the young physician to perform a tracheotomy when his throat swelled shut. But after losing 40% of his blood, the tracheotomy might have only prolonged his suffering.
Perks of growing up in Virginia? Field trips to: Monticello (LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!) Mount Vernon All Museums in Washington D.C. Except for the Air and Space Museum (Wasn't really a fan of air travel or space) Richmond Science Museum Murray Caverns and Skyline Drive. Holy crap I almost forgot the best place in the Metropolitan area.... The National Zoo🐯🐻🐒🐘🐼🐧🐦🐍 I live in West Michigan now. All I've really see here is Lake Michigan. Not saying that's bad but compared to Virginia's historical locations, I'm kinda bummed lol
I too live in Michigan. Apparently, you don't get out much. I grew up in central NJ, and without a doubt the colonial history and sites to visit are fantastic. However, our country's history didn't stop at the end of the 18th century.
Martha emancipated the remaining slaves 'early' (before her death, as was originally planned to only after).. someone attempted to burn down the main house (mt. vernon). While no specific person was identified, she freed them all for fear another attempt could be made to burn it as it was suspected one or more were responsible for the arson attempt.
If you were a slave you would want to be owned by Washington and Jefferson as both men were serious gardeners. Washington is considered America's first scientific farmer. Jefferson actually bought vegetables from his slaves who were allowed to grow their own food. Read "Founding Gardeners" as a reference.
The thing about History is that it might not be History.The past is always a period of the present time.We cannot know the past because of the interpretation of that Time by the present.We are here for one reason and that is to LOVE one another.
Can the spirit of a slave owner be at rest? Of course there are ghosts on plantations the guilty twisted soul of a slave owners. They very much knew it was not only wrong but evil. However the convenience of being waited on hand and foot and reaping huge profits without breaking a sweat was too good a justification to pass up.
I'm sorry, but Martha gathering every note, letter, thing he wrote her and burning them sounds more like she was mightily pissed than saving their legacy. Just saying.
Little miss information here about him not freeing his slaves upon his death. The slaves except for the one he freed were owned by his wife he didn’t have the legal authority to free the slaves because they were not his to free.
@@e.jenima7263he grew tobacco when he was younger he slowed down tobacco because it kinda tears up the ground i guess. But he still grew it i think but yeah he grew grains like barley rye an other grains you know stuff to make likker
Anybody with any sort of high prominence owned slaves. It was an accepted practice during his time so singling out Washington makes no sense when many other people owned slaves as well.
It was what they thought it was right at the time.just like parents teach religion to their children and they grow thinking its the right thing or right religion
That's no reason to not change it, right? Just because we are raised to believe something- we are still individual brains with our own thoughts and emotions that allow us to think differently than our family.
His wife was still living and she needed them to continue living there....not so hard to decipher Miss Hate filled....not too hard to figure this out but We all know why.......

Man, first time hearing about this. It was something else. Interesting.
I'm sorry, but when I hear Mount Vernon, my mind immediately goes to the city in Washington state, since I'm a Washingtonian myself
Yes! I completely agree.
Mine goes to New York.
Yeah, there's a bunch of Mount Vernon cities. I just happen to live in Washington

Certainly was not the man who never told a lie.

My mother's family a good friend of Washington.
Driving through here now making delivery at these old buildings
There’s a place called Mt. Vernon in Washington state so this video was confusing AF
my thoughts exactly !
The coolest town name in Washington state is George, Washington 98824
Most of history is ugly. We have the privilege of perspective.
And it’s only told by those that survived..
Throat might be burning from steaming vinegar lol RIP
I trace back to four of those tribes. Now, my parents are buried on some of that land. Arlington National Cemetery.
Martha looks like George's twin brother.🤷♀️
Her picture gave me Jack And Jill vibes. Adam Sandler movie.
She was lol
I bet you look like his sack.
Martha emancipated the remaining slaves 'early' (before her death, as was originally planned to only after).. someone attempted to burn down the main house (mt. vernon). While no specific person was identified, she freed them all for fear another attempt could be made to burn it as it was suspected one or more were responsible for the arson attempt.
NO INSULATION? INSULATION IN HOUSES IS A FAIRLY MODERN ADDITION!
Washington couldn't have legally freed most of the Mt. Vernon slaves as the majority of them belonged to Martha.

Im really curious if it has something to do with my last name…. There’s not many of us and I don’t know where we come from
What was the main crop George Washington's Mount Vernon estate?
he grew many crops and products but I think tobacco was one of the main money earners allong with whisky. but the Farm Produced many goods.
@@e.jenima7263he grew tobacco when he was younger he slowed down tobacco because it kinda tears up the ground i guess. But he still grew it i think but yeah he grew grains like barley rye an other grains you know stuff to make likker
Prob his main source of calories. Dude was not sober. Says a lot about the situation
This is more about the slaves than mt. Vernon. Very politically correct.
He was, a product of his time.
Anybody with any sort of high prominence owned slaves. It was an accepted practice during his time so singling out Washington makes no sense when many other people owned slaves as well.
“Slavery wasn’t that bad because all rich people were doing it at the time. It was totally normal” 🤡🤡🤡
William Reed was no slave, you don't paint picture with a slave in it right behind you?... He was a moor

Absolutely no excuse

You can't look at the 18th century through 21st century glasses.
Yes you can. Owning people was wrong then as it was today. I don't know why you losers can't accept it.
Bullshit
Don't forget that our forefathers brought the WORD OF GOD TO ALL INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
F*ck them for that. The indigenous people had their own gods and the colonizers forced their way into those people's lives.
they could have kept it. they corrupted everything. your forefathers were the real demons.
Yeah agreed same with the Africans who were even more in need in that respect.
