Washington's Office Museum, Winchester

I normally wouldn't give such a tiny museum 5 stars, but come on--it's George Washington himself we're talking about. That alone is worth a visit...but wait, it gets better: The docents really know their stuff and can really supplement what's in the museum to give you a much fuller picture of Washington's early years here. Certainly worth a visit. Plan on 20 minutes.

Great to see George Washington's office where he worked as a surveyor for Lord Fairfax, built forts, led military expeditions against the French and Indians and held office in the House of Burgesses from 1748-1758. The docents are very enthusiastic and informative.
