The Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden
Owned and maintained by The Colonial Dames of America, the Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden presents the period of the Mount Vernon Hotel, which operated from 1826 until 1833. Constructed in 1799 as a carriage house for a 23-acre estate, and converted into the Mount Vernon Hotel in 1826, this stone building sits on land originally owned by Colonel William Stephens Smith, and his wife Abigail Adams Smith, daughter of John Adams. It is open to the public Tuesday through Sunday, except during the month of August.

Vernon Hotel Museum and is available for rent for functions such as weddings and receptions, either independently or with the Abigail Adams Auditorium. More…
