George Washington's Distillery October 21, 2008

Costumed distillers demonstrate the distillation process in the two-story building. It features a storage cellar, office, and two bedrooms where the site manager and assistant would have lived. A History Channel video called 'George Washington's Liquid Gold' and a museum exhibit, 'Spirits of Independence: George Washington and the Beginnings of the American Whiskey Industry,' tell the story of whiskey at Mount Vernon and its history in America.
