George Washington's River farm and gardens are located in Alexandria,Virginia. The property covers nearly 25 acres and overlooks the Potomac River. The farm was owned by George Washington from 1760 until his death in 1799. It now serves as the headquarters for the American Horticultural Society.
Children can enjoy this historic site, as well. There are a dozen small gardens made just for kids. These include a Fairy Tale garden, Hummingbird Garden, Butterfly Garden, Scratch and Sniff Garden, Maze Garden, and Bat Cave.
The Wildlife Garden is a big favorite for kids. They can hang out at the pond, pictured above, and spot little creatures like turtles, goldfish, and frogs.
The gardens are open Monday through Friday. Admission is free.
