- George Washington directed in his will that a "new" tomb be built at Mount Vernon and that he be buried in it. Learn more about the new tomb where the first President of the United States body lies today.

I like the way that old gentlemen introduced the tomb as a sacred place in a most respectful manner, I'm not American, but I think people should pay their respect when visiting such a special historical place.
Kev S I’m American
Wheres is this at?
It is sacred especially during these times we live in
@@phillyeagles1388 Mount Vernon
very true man
This man, although not without his flaws as with any human, was truly the embodiment of what it is to be a true Patriot. Without his courage it is likely the US would never have existed.
he was a great man. But a Patriot ? he betrayed one country to create another.
@@DarrenMalin No. King George III betrayed his subjects and broke the divine contract and made a mockery out of it when he refused to let the colonists handle taxation issues on their own like before the French and Indian War and then he declared in late 1775 that he will hunt down and kill all the leaders of the Revolution. Until that time the colonists still officially loved the King and the UK and wanted to simply get their taxation rights back. George III killed it when he decided to proceed with defeating and executing the leaders of the Revolution. Look at the flag that Washington and the patriots used. That first U.S. flag had the Union Jack because the 13 colonies still wanted to stay in the UK until George III declared total war on them.
@@nogoodnameleft George III did not say anything . George III was not in power at that time the UK parliament was. The UK was already a constitutional monarchy by this time. Your rant is based on a falsehood.
I visited Mount Vernon and saw the tomb in 2010. Such a humble tomb for such a monumental figure in world history. I like it.
I stood right there and read George Washington’s prayer for the nation, and my son placed a wreath next to the Generals marble enclosure. Such an honor, and something Zach will never forget.
I recently visited Mt. Vernon and did the tour of the house. It was amazing to look into a mirror that George Washington himself used to look into.
Stone Trellis :: Very true! It is so amazing to see the things that Washington used. I hope the citizens of the USA will always treat Mount Vernon as a sacred place. I am very afraid that the dumbing down of the American people by the fascist left of our education system will keep Americans from realizing the meaning of freedom and what our founding fathers sacrificed their wealth and lives to found this great nation. I am afraid most children will think he is some old dead dude. I think this dumbing down of our population was done purposely so people will not think America is a special place and there is no reason to protect and save this GREAT NATION.
THANK GOD FOR PRESIDENT WASHINGTON AND PRESIDENT TRUMP!

OMG ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

WOW !!!!!!!! Can’t wait to go!
Steve Curtis 100% agree
Yup was there last month
His birthday is no longer a holiday, what a shame !!
Washington's Birthday does have a rather complicated history! However, the official (legal) name of "Presidents' Day" IS actually "George Washington's Birthday", even today. www.mountvernon.org/george-washington/the-man-the-myth/the-truth-about-presidents-day/
JerseyJoe I think that someday we will run out of presidents and that's the reason we can not have to many holidays. He should be a king and USA monarchy. Sadly
@@mountvernon Thank you!...this fact needs to be more publicized! I am ashamed to admit that I am of the age where I recall having 'Washington's Birthday' off school as a holiday; but accepted the commercial notion of President's Day..even as a US history teacher!
@@moodist1er Just curious..can you express a thought, idea, opinion without the use of profanity,insult, or ridicule?..I only say that because it demeans what may be salient points in your argument!
None of us will be remembered millions of years from now. No matter how important we were. At some point the will probably bulldoze his grave and put up a skyscraper
I am so proud to be a American. long live America. blessed be.
America is a continent, not a country
Juan HERNANDEZ um no it’s a country…
Fishfishfish You need go to school
Juan HERNANDEZ There’s the continent North America, you might be thinking of that.
You mean united states? america its the fucking continent
Thank you for this honor to pay respects to the first President of these United States and his beloved wife.
God Bless America 🇺🇸
YEAH GOD BLESS AMERICAAAAA
Bless from Indonesia 🇮🇩 and respect
America is full of bad people they are racist
@@RealCepzu well not all American 🇺🇸 racist. Even our indonesia 🇮🇩 some racist too. depending on the person and thoughts. all are still human even though they are different countries
God ain't part of any of this
Mr. President. Those words are even more needed today more than ever! Thank you, for your service, guidance and inspiration all these 240 years.
visited Mount Vernon on Wednesday.......definitely a surreal moment visiting the sacred tomb of George Washington.
We hope you enjoyed your visit Josh and thank you for checking out our CZcams channel.
What a wonderful video !!! The lovely gentleman did such a great job describing and paying respect to George Washington's tomb . I love Mount Vernon !!!

Salute Patriots. God Bless America. Land That We Love.
Yes God bless America our land. 🙂
MACK AND BEWICK are you toxic? Cause I see a little anger.
MACK AND BEWICK
Love, WE specifically didn’t steal it. Christopher Columbus stole it. He tricked the Native Americans into being his friends, and literally killed them. He’s the one to blame. How is it our fault?
@@thatsalittlebassist : We all go through life looking for somebody to blame. Somebody to vilify. When in reality, we all should be looking in the mirror. None of us our perfect. Do we really want to live like this?
I guess I meant that comment for everybody. I don't know why I directed that at you. Peace.
It's amazing that Washington's tomb is a simple marble tomb & not an elaborate tomb like Grant, McKinley or Garfield.
Sam Bradley a simple who can be inspired to be a king and refuses. Sometimes I think if USA choose to be a monarchy instead of a republic.
Appropriate to Washington's humility.
Actually in my view it was very elite and well deserved. Just me.
it was in his will
God bless this wonderful curator! Responsibility well carried.
At age 65 I can remember first thing in the morning during grade school making the pledge of allegiance to the flag of The United States of America. Sadly this practice went by the way side, and now look at our society's lack of respect for our freedoms won by those who came before us.
respect deez
The founding father tomb is quite simple, I am surprised is not more grander
Ken Chan it follows his life as he was a humble man.
He was a president, not a king.
Lincoln's tomb is much more elaborate.
@Glenn Wishart coffins back then were lead.
My family visited Mt Vernon every year. George Washington is the original American hero and the embodiment of all that is good and excellent in a leader. I have very fond and happy memories of this national treasure. God bless America.
I remember visiting this place, DC WAS AMAZING
George Washington was a GREAT PATRIOT and a man to be held in reverence for all time.
I always wanted to visit Mount Vernon. This video is a great introduction! Thank you.
I just LOVE. American history, I went to Washington DC when I was a kid , I still remember most of what I seen
Nice to know I'm still remembered all these years better
Thank you for showing George Washington the respect he deserves he was a great man and without him we would probably still be ruled by Britain in a very bad government he shall always be remembered no Matter how long ago because he changed the future for us an for the world
For having slaves your calling him great??
@@johnwhoskins6446 he had slaves that is true. But who didn’t? And before he died he expressed how the idea of slavery was wrong but he wasn’t the president anymore. Read his will and it will make you think differently of him. Even when he was president if he tried anything with a fragile new nation it wouldn’t have ended well he would’ve been charged with treason and hung in the middle of New York. He felt bad for slavery at the end don’t hold it against the man especially what he did for the before his death.
@@johnwhoskins6446 and a lot of so called “great leaders” owned slaves. All across the word at different times sum are even mass murders.
'Ruled by Britain in a very bad government'. Redirect you to Canada, Australia and NZ, shall I? In my opinion, Washington was a British traitor.
@@teviottilehurst he was born in America, so was his father and grandfather, he was never British!
Thank you sir.
What a lovely and very respectful tribute to America's first president. I am glad that his life and legacy are honoured by such a dedicated and eloquent group of people.
The marble doesnt look sealed. Does that mean the top can be removed and if so would you see his coffin or atleast his vault?
Thank you Sir!!!
Washington: ONE LAST TIME...🎶
Sit down, have a drink with me, one last time
Shame how the original actor hates George Washington over the slavery issue (GW freed his slaves, btw) but he has no problem playing the role of a lifetime and profiting off of Washington's great legacy. I always thought it was hilarious how he played Washington and did a fantastic job in "Hamilton" and then went to a George Washington University seminar and Mount Vernon and claimed that he doesn't really like Washington, HAHAHAHA. If he really hated Washington he wouldn't even bother to go to anything that has Washington's name associated with it, right?
Thank you.
You have to give George Washington a lot of credit, for doing what he did , creating America
Hahahahaha bruuuh it wasnt him lol
@@gijoe5372
Exactly lol
@@gijoe5372 Ummm, yeah, it was him. Thomas Jefferson is the one who is overrated. Refused to fight in the war and then ran like the cowardly dog he was while governor of Virginia when the British invaded in 1781. The Declaration of Independence isn't even written by him. He wrote the first draft then walked away and John Adams and 3 others fixed it and their draft is the final one.
It's crazy to think his remains are probably still on this earth
I think if I walked inside, I would have a heart attack. That's how much I love and respect George Washington.
I can't imagine what it is like being next to that tomb. George Washington, so near yet so far. I copied and paste this from the Mt. Vernon site. They have a section about ghosts at Mt. Vernon. Whatever your beliefs are I thought this was really interesting. an interpreter from 2006, explains what happened to her at George Washington's Tomb.
The first time I experienced this “ghost” was Easter morning in 2006 when I was scheduled to open Washington’s Tomb. It was early and very quiet and there was no one around - the guests had not made their way from the Mansion. I stood in front of the open door and I saw an ectoplasm in the far right corner of the Tomb. When I moved, the ectoplasm moved. I watched as it became a blur in my vision and it continued to move around. I took a photo that showed a streak of light through the blur. The second photo showed the blur. As soon as voices of the guests coming down the hill could be heard, the ectoplasm disappeared. This happened on three different occasions.
Peaceful place.
Wow. He changed how the world works. I'm proud of him even tho I'm not American. I'm sure my freedom today in my country was because of people like him. He set an example. Not sure about some modern presidents tho LOL
Chris Ward correct. In Latin America a man from today Venezuela named Simon Bolivar was inspired by him and he came to more not Vernon to speak with him. Also in Mexico a general Iturbe dreaming to meet him to made a union think USA and Mexico one Union. What a shame
How are you people this fucking stupid?
George Washington wasn't a perfect man,however did a lot of good for the world,in general.
@@moodist1er Right. Assholes like you want us to worship Stalin and Marx, right?
Let's all be like George
I am doing a project on him and tomorrow when I turn this in it will be his birthday
General Washington would be quite proud on his 287th birthday! I hope your teacher gives you high marks.
Thank you so much!@@mountvernon
@@neighborhoodtv9222 what mark did you get
Thanks to the General my family came here from Ireland and Latvia and escaped the wrath of persecution and prospered. God Bless America.
The prayer ended with the following "Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen."
This was actually very nice. It’s amazing how he got it. And yet he owned others.
General and Lady Washington, We love you.
I am a proud American
I remember taking a selfie next to the sarcophagus...ah good times, this was like 10 years ago so I've obviously matured since then...
God bless you all

I may not be white but I am a proud american. I love history and would honor my country and defend the freedom.
Is this place open for tour each weekday???
Yes, we are open 365!
America was lucky to have a leader like President Washington. The First American
This might be bad to say but the video is respectful but I somehow use it to fall asleep.
Love from India
Thank you for allowing us to attend. I just there should have been mention something nice about Mrs. Washington.
Yes she has a plain top on her marker but she still did many good works as well. She was a fine & remarkable women to be the wife of such a remarkable man like our (Pres. & Gen) George Washington.
I heard that if not for the fact that Mrs. Washington's coffen would not fit in that small doorway that she two would have been inside and not by her husband, is this true?
How did they get the other coffens inside that tiney door?
I thank you for your time.
Great President!
When will you ever go behind the wall to see who else is buried back there?
I still find it hard to believe that his marble sarcophagus / casket; and / or door at the back wall could have been mis-measured so horribly.
OR
We're the miscalculations (??) a silent form of slave rebellion?
Just some food for thought.
am wish to visit Gorge Washington mounmunt ❤
needs to be more secure at night or day
It needs a chute to pour the sewage in with..
@@moodist1er you're fucking stupid. Stfu
@@Goat10Solos while he fought for the freedom of our country you record clips of the flash with your phone camera.🤣
@@Goat10Solos tell me again who isn't important?
@@Goat10Solos no the answer is you flash boi.
George Whitefields spirit filled preaching across the colonies dramatically influenced that generation. They lived every day of their lives with eternity stamped on their eyes.
NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! GEORGE WASHINGTON I LOVE YOU!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
How old are you?
Im23
Wow
Sad how his body might just be a skeleton with 1800's clothes. That amazing body, gone to waste.
What is in the black door in the back?
Other relatives are buried back there. GW would also be behind the door had not the marble casing been to big to fit. So it sits there today. Martha's was built later and she too was brought out.
Did he say Newburgh, NY?
What do ya know... That's my hometown.👌
Cool
Detective of money politics following this content cheers VK3GFS 73s Frank
Great Men!
There's needs to be a soldier standing guard at every president resting place.
One of the biggest tragedies of American history is that Washington lived before photos and videos, but alas we will have to settle for this. I visited Mt. Vernon about 10 years ago, it was an amazing way to honor an extraordinary man. Without a doubt, he was our best president and did more for our country than any of our other political figures.
By far our best president. Nobody else comes close at all. Without him the country would have been dead before 1810. Imagine if Jefferson or Madison were president in the 1790s during the French Revolution. They would have declared war on the UK and we would have been destroyed by the British who had a much better army in the 1790s than during the Revolution. The British would have at the very least divided the country up and scheme to divide the USA into 2 or 3 separate countries. Washington and Jay's Treaty prevented all of that.
Star of David / Star of Bethlehem...
I think George Washington was the best president, he showed us the standards we should have for a great president, and without that man america would not be here he was a natural born leader.
Ave Washington !
Crazy to think he actually existed 😰
Why doesn’t his tomb have guards
He died of old age and was buried at home
He was first and foremost a citizen and not a ruler, unlike later presidents
In those days state office was also considered higher than federal office
My only issue is that the curator failed to remove his hat while saying The Pledge of Allegiance!
His hand was over his heart though.
مقام جورج واشنطن العاصمة Washington DC ❤
OMG George Washington upload this
Found u again
😂😂
❤❤❤❤❤
Just the fact there is someone who led the revolutionary war, 1st president of the United states and died 200 years ago is in there is crazy
History class brought me here

My favorite President.

I wonder if the host in this video is aware that the gold fringe means that that is a corporate flag of the "United States" and not an "American" flag of the Republic that President Washington fought for.
George Washington was persecuted by the press and those in Congress just like Lincoln..Kennedy....Reagan..Trump. He was a Christian and prayed often on the Battlefield for the troops etc. Prayer was a big deal to him, historically but its often left unsaid, a thing which I am sure he would not like as he felt God lead and any good he did from God only.
Lincoln was not persecuted by the press, not the domestic press anyway
Anybody that dared print negative stories, particularly if it they spoke out against his war, would be locked up without charges
If you look at the Pledge of Allegiance in the written form, there is NO comma between the phrase "one Nation under God" which means there is no pause in the oral version. It is not "one Nation" pause "under God". We should really say the Pledge correctly.
Who cares? Just be glad they aren't like liberals who don't even say God in the pledge.
This, and Washington's whole example, illustrates the distinction between a people, of any color race creed gender etc etc, following a set of principles and another people following a mere human mortal. The greatness in Washington, and usually in America, is that we made the former choice, not the latter. This is why there is no official language...and cannot be. This is why there is no official religion...and cannot be. This is why we need not fear those of different color but must be very afraid of those who seek to undermine our institutions and the principles on which they are founded. This is why we must INCREASE OUR EFFORTS to educate ourselves and our children in the knowledge of these founding principles. No, not merely the Constitution (which is, by design, highly malleable) but rather the CIVICS principles on which it is based. We need more civics classes, more political and sociological education. Fear those who turn us away from these sources of wisdom. Do NOT fear those who look different.
who else would open the tomb to look at him no lie I would have opened its for all dead legends. who wouldn't the man was alive during the late 1700 who.
There are 3 coffens under the first
I'm just bones right now, nothing much to look at.
George Washington lmfao
Just a bunch of bones, nothing special.
Im sure it's sealed
Thank you god and mr president for creating the nation to be the leader of free world we can't imagine the world without america..
Well a lot less than now

George Washington is 389 years old
can tourists visit the tomb
MARTHA WASHINGTON DIED ON THE DAY OF MY BIRTHDAY WHICH IS MAY 22
I was taught that when saying the pledge of allegiance men should remove their hat out of respect
It was written by the guy who gave the nazis their salute.. So you're fucking brainwashed and stupid as fuck...
@@moodist1er and, you..apparently, have not learned that profanity is not the best way to win an argument...
I wonder where the tombs are of the people he enslaved?
