Comment: This is a really good up-and-coming museum. This museum depicted George Washington’s boyhood home. It is not the actual home however it is an accurate re-creation of it. They are still doing research and digging up artifacts, so it is history in the making. Our tour guide was very informative and they didn’t amazing job re-creating the house. Also, they have a total of 13 toilets open to the public on property so going to the bathroom here is not an issue. The bathrooms are very clean and they have nice toilets. Also, the admission price is very reasonable.

Comment: Awesome historical place about George Washington’s boyhood. Great displays of archeological finds. Awesome reproduction of the home built here. Still working to find more hidden evidence of buildings and those who lived here through archeological digs. Very interesting and complete tour of the reproduced house built over the original foundation. Awesome staff at every turn of this building and grounds. Well worth your time to go here!!!!!

Comment: Lovely piece of American history. Stopping in the visitor center, there’s a small museum and you can pay $12 for a short guided tour of the house. While I’m not sure it’s worth it, due to the tour only being around 10-15 min tops and only covering the small replica home; I didn’t mind paying so that the site can stay open and continue its archaeological studies. The sights are quite lovely, and being conveniently located near Historic Fredericksburg, you can head over there for more historical sites or to get a great meal. (Included some photos to show the beautiful scenery on the property, the replica house is awesome too, but I’ll save that for the viewer to discover !)

Comment: Had about an hour to kill, drove by and saw this National Park of the childhood home of one of our founding fathers, George Washington. Thought it might be neat to check out. They have a visitor center, where it cost $12 to get a ticket to check out the property and have a guided tour of the home. Still not quite spring yet so most of the gardens, flowers and trees will still pretty bare. I would imagine do that in the springtime or summer that the property is quite stunning. I walked around a little bit checked out the house and then walked down to the Rappahannock River. Saw lots wildlife including some deer and woodpeckers. Got back up to the house so I could meet my tour guide. She seemed pretty knowledgeable, we sat outside the house explain the history and how Washington came to be here. Then went inside and pretty much told the story, mostly about his mother. There are lots of little tidbits to learn and she even sent me a couple times with a few questions. Only really disappointing thing he talked about a lot of artifacts that they found here. Everything is a replica basically they found where the original House was and lots of artifacts in the ground. I wish they had an area of where they showed some of the artifacts off. For $12 it wasn’t bad she said that they were getting ready to start building her mother buildings where they think a barn and maybe some enslaved quarters were. I’m sure it’s well worth it in the spring or summer time to come walk around. If you’re a history buff I think it’s well worth your time.

Comment: It’s very surreal walking in the footsteps as the small boy, George Washington. Thinking about what life must have been like and how this farm built such a powerful leader and our very first President. The home is an exact replica of the original that burnt down. Built in the old ways as it would have been built way back then. It is still an ever changing and growing monument as more archeological building and details are discovered. Very much worth seeing and hearing about the life and struggles of this great general and statesmen. Truth or legend… As a boy, George Washington chopped down a cherry tree and after doing so exclaimed, “I can not tell a lie, I chopped down the cherry tree. ” There are no visible cherry trees on the property. However, archeologist have uncovered thousands of cherry pits on their dig. The thought is that there must have been an orchard with cherry trees on the site at one time.
