Revolutionary War Weekend @ George Washington’s Mount Vernon

May 4, 2024 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm


Step back in time during Mount Vernon’s Revolutionary War Weekend!

On May 4-5, 2024, Mount Vernon’s serene 12-Acre Field transforms into a battleground as Continentals, Redcoats, and Hessians conduct military drills, perform cavalry demonstrations, and engage in 18th-century tacticals.

Meet the soldiers who are encamped at Mount Vernon, discuss military techniques, and learn about the American Revolution. Plus, visit with camp followers — mostly women and children who traveled with the army either because of their relationship to a soldier in the army, or displacement because of the war.

While you’re there, walk through the Museum of the American Revolution’s replica of General Washington’s War Tent, which served as the marquee—or office and sleeping quarters—that he used as the command center of the Continental Army. The Museum of the American Revolution staff will be onsite to discuss the tent and answer questions.
