Explore how archaeology has shaped what we know about the Washingtons, the lives of the enslaved people who lived at Mount Vernon, and the 18th century on Archaeology Family Day!

On July 19, 2025, visit the Family Hub to learn about the archaeological process. Here, you can explore activity stations to participate in your own miniature dig, put broken objects together, and make your own replicas out of clay.

Continue to explore at home with the take-home activities (while supplies last).

Plus, listen to music, watch historic trades demos, sit in on a children’s book talk, and learn about other local historical locations.
