Rare Historic Mount Vernon Cross Stitch Sampler Kit

The west front of the mansion at Mount Vernon greeted the guests of George and Martha Washingtonas they descended from their coaches, eager to exerience the famous hospitality of their host. The impressivemansion was the result of years of planning and design. At the age of 22,George Washington inherited the small house his father had built, and spent more than 30 years enlarging the structure. His first major change was the addition of a full story in 1758, bringing the height of the building to two- and - a half stories. Just before the Revolutionary War, he added wings on the North and South ends of the mansion nearly tripling the size of the house. The wings were connected to two adjoining outbuildings with colonnades,on which Washington planted French honeysuckle.
