1910 Mount Vernon Barn

This 1910 postcard offers a glimpse of the iconic barn at Mount Vernon, the historic home of George Washington. Located just behind the main mansion, the barn was an integral part of Washington’s plantation, where he managed both his farming operations and his experiments with agricultural innovations. The barn, built in the early 18th century, is a striking example of early American farm architecture, reflecting Washington’s commitment to improving the efficiency of his estate. By 1910, Mount Vernon had already become a popular site for visitors, drawn not only by the grandeur of the mansion but also by the rural charm of the surrounding farm buildings.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
