Besides being a general and the first president of the United States, George Washington was also a farmer, who enjoyed experimenting with seeds, tools, and fertilizers.
He tinkered with plows, designed a
sixteen-sided barn, and plotted the
location of each new tree he planted.
Through his letters and diaries,
we learn how his efforts to create a
self-sufficient farm at Mount Vernon
mirrored his struggle to create a
free nation.
