Where is George Washington Buried?

30,573 views
One question a lot of our guests ask is, "Why isn't George Washington buried at the Capitol?" While George Washington's gravesite is at his home, Mount Vernon, other people tried to have him buried elsewhere upon his death. We set out on a mini journey to the Capitol, the Fairfax County courthouse and finally Mount Vernon to get the full story.
