Freedom Before Emancipation: Family Day for Juneteenth

Join Mount Vernon as we celebrate Juneteenth by remembering how enslaved people resisted enslavement and sought freedom before the Emancipation Proclamation.

Watch musical performances and see special character performances from actors portraying William Lee, Tobias Lear, and Martha Washington.

Plus, take a tour of the estate, watch spinning, cooking, and blacksmith demonstrations, and honor the lives of the enslaved at a commemoration ceremony.
