Join Tia and Apollo for a weekday break at Mount Vernon
Meet at front entrance or 12-Acre Field; or we'll find each other! Humans pay. Dogs free. Adult day tickets $28 but you can return for the rest of 2025 FREE w/the current deal. Annual pass $69. If you like, come for a "dry run" sans dog to preview entrance/exit.
Dogs MUST remain on leash. Not a formal tour. We go where allowed. Walk at your own pace or with the group. We might visit river, farm, forest, and outbuildings. Staff and historians love the dogs and are always eager to answer questions or share information about George Washington and life at Mount Vernon.
NOTE: Apollo is making good progress on reactivity to unknown dogs & staying calm near livestock, but enjoys pack walks. We appreciate *SPACE* but do well once acquainted with new dog friends. If your dog is similar, we'll get it, and give you space, too. Apollo is a low-key, tri-color English Shepherd, long and lanky, like a stretched-out Aussie. I'm a white lady who will probably have pink hair and a purple coat or jacket. If we know you're coming, I can tell Apollo your names and life will go more smoothly for us.
