Today we visited the home of President Washington today. The home was built in 1754 by Washington. He stayed there untill 1799 when he died at the age og 67 from a bacteria infection. He had many slaves that worked on the farm which totaled more than 8000 arces. The home's rear entrance faced the Potomac River with a view that is remarkable. I have included a picture. Both Washington and his wife Martha are buried on the farm. The home was restore back in the 1850's but the civil war started and was not finished until many years later. The funny thing is that this was our first President and the government back then did nothing to restore the home. It was started by 11 women who thought that it was important to restore the home. To this day it is being upkeep by private donors and the admission price to see the home.
