Course Description

As America celebrates 250 years of independence, this course will examine the indispensable founder, George Washington. We will explore Washington?s life and political leadership as well as his work as a farmer, entrepreneur, and architect. We will also review the groundbreaking work of the Mount Vernon Ladies? Association (MVLA) which has owned and managed George Washington?s Mount Vernon since 1858. In that year, an intrepid group of women (who had no right to vote or own property) came together to save George Washington?s home, after both the Federal Government and Commonwealth of Virginia had refused to help. MVLA formation marked the birth of the historic preservation movement. - INSTRUCTOR: DEDE PETRI
