Support George Washington's Boyhood Home at Ferry Farm and Historic Kenmore with a Tax-Deductible Donation
We rely on the support of generous donors for continuing operation, education, preservation, and acquisition. Owned and operated by The George Washington Foundation, these National Historic Landmarks witnessed major events in American history—from the Revolution through the Civil War and into the 20th century. The Foundation also owns Accokeek Furnace, Augustine Washington's 18th-century iron-mining operation on Accokeek Creek in Stafford County. The mission of The George Washington Foundation is to enhance the public understanding and appreciation of the lives, values, and legacies of George Washington, Fielding and Betty Washington Lewis, and their families.
