I found the Mount Vernon App to be very useful. When you turn it on, it
immediately updates to reflect the day's events and then you can plan your visit: get directions, hours of operation, what to see, where to eat, park and purchase tickets - all spelled out in one place! Then you can explore George Washington's house. Each room is highlighted and explained, take one of 5 audio tours, find and identify plants in bloom that day and much, much more! A great tool to get the most of your visit to the first president's home.
