Colonial Farm

I came across this NPS Colonial Farm located directly across the river from Mt Vernon. The building had been moved here from a few miles away and are authentic 18th century structures--clapboard. The fellow here tend a team of oxen. Tobacco was the cash crop in southern Maryland. They had a nice heritage garden and heritage livestock, so all was as it would have been in 1780. Nice job and worth a visit. The view of Mt Vernon was a nice added attraction.
