Mount Vernon is managed by the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association, a private non-profit organization founded in 1853. The association was the first national historic preservation organization in the United States. It is responsible for maintaining the mansion, grounds, and outbuildings while preserving the site’s historical integrity. The association operates museums, educational programs, and public events at the estate. Membership, donations, and ticket sales support ongoing conservation and preservation work. Their stewardship ensures that Mount Vernon remains a well-preserved landmark for future generations.
