About

George Washington's Ferry Farm is where young Washington spent his formative years and became an extraordinary man. The future general and first president was 6 years old when his family moved to Ferry Farm in King George County (now Stafford County), Virginia, in 1738.

A guided tour of the Washington house replica explores the lives of George, his mother Mary, other Washington family members, and the enslaved community. Guests can walk the grounds, browse exhibits in the visitor's center, and learn about thousands of colonial and Civil War artifacts excavated by archaeologists at Ferry Farm. Washington family artifacts continue to be found at Ferry Farm, revealing new details about Washington's childhood and homestead.
