George Washington's Mount Vernon, Children's museum in Fairfax County, US
The estate spans 500 acres along the Potomac River, featuring a mansion with 30 outbuildings constructed in the Palladian architectural style.
The Washington family obtained the land in 1674, with George Washington expanding the property between the 1750s and 1770s through numerous structural additions.
