George Washington Birthplace, Virginia
The legendary Founding Father and first president of the US, George Washington, grew up in the Northern Neck of Virginia. This vast National Monument encompasses a staggering 551 acres of land, which was the home of seven generations of the Washington family.
Washington was born here in 1731 and went on to serve as president from 1789 to 1797. There are a number of things you can do here, like setting off in a kayak and exploring the shoreline around The Potomac River Beach, and paying a visit to The Memorial House Museum.
