10. Mount Vernon (Virginia)
Mount Vernon, the beloved estate of George Washington, dates back to the mid-18th century and remains beautifully preserved. Visitors are invited to tour the elegant mansion, stroll the manicured gardens, and take in sweeping views of the Potomac River. Much like Jefferson’s Monticello, Mount Vernon provides a unique perspective on the personal lives and values of America’s founding leaders, while offering an immersive glimpse into the early days of the United States.
