He is buried at Mt Vernon. He was originally placed in a crypt. Thirty years later a nicer mausoleum was built. He was placed there along with Martha against the inner wall.

Later both coffins were moved to a place inside the mausoleum where they could be viewed by the public.

See following web page.

Washington's remains were buried at Mount Vernon. In order to protect their privacy, Martha Washington burned the correspondence between her husband and herself following his death. Only three letters between the couple have survived.

In 1861, Washington's remains were moved from Mount Vernon to Lexington, Virginia, as there was fear that Northern troops would desecrate them. They were returned at the end of the war.

He's at Mt. Vernon (not Vermont), and he was in one tomb at one time but then they moved him to a nicer one that you can see into. It's kind of cool but a little creepy, his and his wife's coffins are just right there inside the marble boxes, whatever you call them, you could probably touch them if you wanted.
