The plantation is located along the Potomac River near the nation’s capital. Your visit will include plenty of time for a tour of the Mansion house, exploration of the surrounding gardens and outbuildings of the estate, and lunch before our group embarks on an afternoon sightseeing cruise on the Potomac.
