George Washington Birthplace National Monument

The monument on Popes Creek marks where the first president was born in 1732, on land his family farmed in the Northern Neck. The original house did not survive, so what the Park Service maintains is the site itself, the colonial plantation landscape around it, and the family burial ground.
