Huh?? The 3rd floor is not accessible.

The second flloot is closed because of COVID. My understanding is that it was previously open and will hopefully open in the future if COVID restrictions are lifted.

The tour of the mansion is not a private tour; however it is a timed-tour. You will have to purchase tickets from the box-office for a specific time. The earlier you arrive at the site, the better of a chance to get in at a decent time. The rest of the property and museum is "walk trough at your own pace and it is mainly outdoors!" Well worth the walk around as the grave of Washington is part of the walking outside tour.

A simple answer is no to having the add-ons included in the general admission price. We did not use any of the add-ons and still found the place quite interesting. There is a lot to be discovered on a self-guided tour. You need to look closely at what the add-ons include and determine if they are worth the extra cost. Our general admission gave us a very nice overview of Mt. Vernon and in all the places there is signage to help you understand what you are looking at.

I think this is a special request that you would need to contact a manager at Mount Vernon to discuss.

Take the yellow line metro to Huntington Station. Catch metrobus 101 (at shelter E at bus station). Takes you right to Mt Vernon. Easy! Definitely worth seeing.

It wasn’t that good anyway and it was a waste of time and money to do the tour and the boat ride. They rushed you through the house and the guy on the boat read from the book.

I apologise, I never saw your question. Hope you had an enjoyable tour

We went on a weekday in the summer. I’d guess that’s better than a weekend. It was busy but not overcrowded.
