His               Mount               Vernon               Estate               was               George               Washington's               pride               and               joy.

While               away               at               war,               or               as               the               first               President               of               the               United               States,               he               kept               in               touch               with               the               managers               about               the               details               of               the               estate,               still               making               decisions               with               his               excellent               business               sense.

Washington               sold               the               finest               flour               from               his               grist               mill               abroad,               ran               a               profitable               whiskey               business               from               his               distillery,               and               maintained               the               farm,               house               and               gardens               of               Mount               Vernon.

The               property               falls               on               hard               times.


               When               Washington               died               in               1799,               ownership               of               the               property               changed               hands               among               family               members               five               times.

Some               of               the               difficulty               may               have               been               the               exhaustion               of               the               soil               from               over               farming,               but               the               lack               of               a               strong               leader               and               businessman               like               George               Washington               was               probably               part               of               the               problem.

No               one               seemed               to               be               able               to               keep               it               going,               and               the               travelers               who               visited               Mount               Vernon               were               an               additional               burden.
               By               1829               the               estate               was               owned               by               John               Augustine               Washington               III,               a               great-grand               nephew.

The               mansion               had               rotted               columns,               and               the               roof               was               propped               up               with               the               masts               of               old               ships.

Washington               realized               he               had               to               sell,               but               he               had               enough               sense               of               family               to               want               to               be               sure               Mount               Vernon               would               be               preserved               for               future               generations               and               not               just               turned               into               a               property               for               profit.

He               tried               to               get               either               Congress               or               the               General               Assembly               of               Virginia               to               buy               Mount               Vernon               without               success.
               The               ladies               of               the               land               take               action.


               In               1853,               the               ladies               came               to               the               rescue.

The               Mount               Vernon               Ladies'               Association               looks               with               pride               at               the               formation               of               their               movement,               which               they               say               marked               not               only               a               step               forward               in               women's               history,               but               the               emergence               of               the               national               preservation               movement               in               America.

It               began               with               Louisa               Dalton               Bird               Cunningham               who               was               on               her               way               home               to               South               Carolina               on               a               steamer,               and               saw               the               Mount               Vernon               Estate               on               the               banks               of               the               Potomac,               in               near               ruins.

She               wrote               a               pleading               letter               to               her               daughter,               Ann               Pamela               Cunningham,               suggesting               that               if               the               men               were               allowing               the               home               of               hero               George               Washington               to               go               to               ruin,               then               the               women               of               America               should               save               it.
               Women               were               not               expected               to               get               involved               in               such               projects               or               have               their               names               out               in               public,               but               Ann               Pamela               Cunningham               had               been               disabled               since               her               teenage               years               by               an               accident,               so               she               did               not               have               the               usual               expectations               of               a               husband               or               family.

She               wrote               a               letter               to               the               Charleston               Mercury               newspaper               appealing               for               help               from               the               patriotic               women               of               the               South,               signing               it               "A               Southern               Matron"               to               protect               her               name.

Eventually,               she               dropped               the               anonymity               and               organized               the               Mount               Vernon               Ladies'               Association               of               the               Union               and               started               collecting               donations.
               Help               from               newspapers               and               men               as               well               as               the               ladies.


               Newspapers               willing               published               her               appeals,               and               a               variety               of               influential               and               respectable               men               helped               in               the               cause.

Edward               Everett,               a               well               known               lecturer,               was               one               of               the               most               helpful,               as               he               delivered               his               speech,               "George               Washington,               Builder               of               the               Union,"               everywhere,               raising               about               a               third               of               the               funds               needed               to               buy               the               Mount               Vernon               Estate.
               After               negotiations               with               the               owner               Washington,               which               included               appeals               to               his               wife,               the               Mount               Vernon               Ladies'               Association               purchased               the               house               in               1858,               paying               off               the               full               sum               of               $200,000               and               taking               full               possession               of               February               22,               1860,               the               128th               anniversary               of               George               Washington's               birth.

It               was               a               difficult               time,               and               we               all               owe               a               huge               debt               of               gratitude               to               Ann               Pamela               Cunningham               and               her               Mount               Vernon               Ladies               for               preserving               and               protecting               this               piece               of               our               American               heritage               through               all               of               these               years.
               Protecting               the               property               from               change               and               progress.


               Mount               Vernon               vows               that               the               words               of               Miss               Cunningham               will               serve               as               a               guide               for               the               preservation               of               Mount               Vernon               today:               "Ladies,               the               Home               of               Washington               is               in               your               charge.

See               to               it               that               you               keep               it               the               Home               of               Washington!

Let               no               irreverent               hand               change               it;               no               vandal               hands               desecrate               it               with               the               fingers               of               -               progress!

Those               who               go               to               the               Home               in               which               he               lived               and               died,               wish               to               see               in               what               he               lived               and               died!

Let               one               spot               in               this               grand               country               of               ours               be               saved               from               'change!'               Upon               you               rests               this               duty."
               If               she               had               been               able               to               see               into               the               future,               Ann               Pamela               Cunningham               would               be               proud               of               what               they               accomplished,               and               awed               by               what               the               Mount               Vernon               Ladies'               Association               continues               to               do               to               protect               the               property,               while               making               it               available               for               the               visitors               who               stream               in               daily,               trying               to               get               a               feel               for               the               man               and               the               lifestyle               of               President               George               Washington.
