George Washington's Mount Vernon reopens after $40 million restoration

George Washington's Mount Vernon mansion fully reopened on Wednesday after a $40 million restoration project. This marks the most ambitious effort by the estate's association, not only preserving the home but uncovering more scientific and historical findings along the way. A multi-year project comes to a close, in advance of America's 250th anniversary next year.
