DECEMBER 14: GEORGE WASHINGTON DIES (1799)
On this day in 1799, at age 67, George Washington died in his home at Mount Vernon, Virginia.
Overlooking the Potomac River, George Washington’s estate was restored completely a few years ago. At almost 500 acres, this historic home is located 16 miles south of Washington D.C and open 365 days a year.
This WETA clip shows how with the use of forensics, Mount Vernon gives visitors a more accurate interactive look at the first president.
