where in George Washington house is he buried?

Question

where in the house

Answer 1

At his request, Washington was buried on the grounds of Mount Vernon estate. A tomb was constructed near the old slave burial grounds where a memorial now stands in honor of the slaves and freedmen that worked for the Washington family.

Mount Vernon is really a beautiful place! It's well worth the visit.

Answer 2

Washington's body is in a vault above ground on his Mount Vernon estate--not in the house itself.

His body originally was interned in a small vault first built for his brother Lawrence, staying in that location until April 1831 when his heirs constructed a larger vault where both his and and Martha Washington's bodies both lie in two marble sarcophagi inside the tomb.

A web site featuring an 1838 print for sale on e-bay gives the location of the vault where Washington's remains were originally kept, "30 rods* from the house, immediately upon the bank of the [Potomac] river . . . Between it and the Potomac is a curtain of forest trees . . . The tomb is surrounded by several large native oaks, and overhanging the tomb is a corpse of red cedar."

* 30 rods equal approximately 510 feet

Answer 3

Washington died on the evening of December 14, 1799, at his home, while attended by Dr. James Craik, one of his closest friends, and Tobias Lear, Washington's personal secretary. Lear would record the account in his journal. From Lear's account, we receive Washington's last words: Tis well.

Modern doctors believe that Washington died from either epiglottitis or, since he was bled as part of the treatment, a combination of shock from the loss of five pints of blood, as well as asphyxia and dehydration. Washington's remains were buried at Mount Vernon. 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.

After Washington's death, Mount Vernon was inherited by his nephew, Bushrod Washington, a justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Answer 4

He's buried at Mt. Vernon, in a mausoleum in the garden next to his wife.
