Mount Vernon was the residence of the first president of the United States, George Washington. Now a museum, the mansion and grounds are open to the public, and have been the focus of archaeological research in recent years.

The online shop includes clocks, china, toys, sculpture, sundials, artwork, some cool lamps, door stops, brass and pewter, and a range of reproductions from 18th century colonial America (including the Bastille Key given to him by Lafayette). You can shop on-line, fax, phone orders too. Even going onto the site has a secure connection.
