On Saturday, members of the George Washington University community celebrated the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, the nation’s first president and namesake of the university with a visit to his Mount Vernon estate in Alexandria.
The trip included round-trip transportation from campus, tours of the mansion and wreath-laying ceremonies at the Slave Memorial and Washington’s Tomb. The full mansion is open after two years of renovations, including the newly restored Washingtons' Bedchamber.
Cooper Tyksinski took photos of the event:
