I would like to go there sometime. It looks like a cool place. I didn't know George Washington never had children of his own either. What a very beautiful home it is.. Thank you for taking us along, and for the lovely pics of the interior, and the video of the exterior of Mt. Vernon, Nick. 👏👏
Thanks Rhonda 😎👍👍. I’ve always loved the revolutionary war and this was something I’ve had on my bucket list the past 10yrs. It was surreal to actually see this in person where he lived. Was a great tour and only 30mins from DC. Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it 😄
I'm a huge fan of this time period. I had quite a few ancestors that fought in the American Revolution. One of them, my 5th ggf Samuel Ellis, had a conversation with Washington. When I had my ancestry done I found out I was a distant cousin to him. True George and Martha never had kids. He was the one that was most likely to be infertile. He had several illnesses when he was younger that can cause male infertility. Martha had 4 children in a previous marriage. When you showed that huge tree at 13:01 it made me think of a wooden vase I purchased from Mt.Vernon. It was made from a chestnut tree that had been there during Washington's lifetime. It fell during a severe thunderstorm on the day my father died. So the vase has a lot of meaning to me. He died 223 years ago. It really wasn't as long as it feels. I think a couple things feed into that. We only have paintings of people from that time and their written words. It gives it a storybook feeling. Also the dramatic way our lifestyles have changed over the last couple of centuries. It gives this time a much more distant feel because of that. Imagine if there was photography and video back then. We could see what they really looked and sounded like. I have a couple of pictures of my 4th great grandparents. The pictures were taken sometime in the 1870's. They were born in the 1700's. When I was looking at them I thought, man I'm looking at people that were alive when Washington was still around. I like cemeteries too. You're not sick, lol. My hometown in New England has a couple of cemeteries that go back to the 1600's. People are buried there that fought in the French and Indian war the American Revolution and the civil war. It's not really known if he died from epiglottitis or all the blood letting. He lost about 40 percent of his blood volume. There was a young physician there that told Washington's physicians about a new procedure called a tracheostomy. But Washington's physicians were not interested in trying the new procedure that could have saved his life. Well if George comes back and checks his property on occasion, I hope he's happy with the way it's being taken care of. It must be surreal standing next to his tomb, he's so near yet so far.
Great video. The scene where you is stated that Washington did not use the old tomb is not so. He was intombed at the old tomb from 1799 until 1839 when the tomb he is presently intombed in was completed and he was moved to from the old tomb to the present one. Awesome video and thanks for posting.
