Mount Vernon, Virginia, in 1925 was George Washington's former plantation on the Potomac, about eight miles south of Alexandria. The Mount Vernon Ladies' Association had owned the house and grounds since 1858, and by the 1920s steamers from Washington and automobiles brought steady crowds to see the mansion and the first president's tomb. Around the estate, the economy remained agricultural, with farms and small rural trade rather than factories, while the growing federal capital lay just upriver. Visitors would have known the place above all as a shrine to Washington, kept up through private women's effort rather than by the government.
