Homecoming

Because of the pandemic year, Mount Vernon’s donor groups joined together for a single fundraiser in support of Mount Vernon’s education and preservation mission. On September 26, the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association, Connoisseur Society, Founders Committee, Life Guard Society, MVU Steering Committee, Neighborhood Friends, and Washington Cabinet hosted a Mount Vernon Homecoming, welcoming many donors back to the estate for the first time all year. The socially-distanced reception on the east lawn featured fireworks over the Potomac.
