The Woman Behind the General: Mary Washington's Story & Home Tour 0:00 Introduction 0:18 History of the House 0:35 Mary Washington's background 1:53 Revolutionary Times 2:49 George Washington becomes President 3:29 Legacy and History Left Behind In 1772, George Washington purchased a house from Michael Robinson in Fredericksburg, Virginia, for his mother. Mary Ball Washington spent her last seventeen years in this comfortable home. The white frame house sits on the corner of Charles and Lewis Streets and was within walking distance to Kenmore, home of Mary’s daughter, Betty Washington Lewis. Tradition has it that, during the Revolution, General Lafayette came by the home seeking a visit with Mrs. Washington and found her working in her garden. The President-to-be came to this home to receive his mother’s blessing before attending his inauguration in 1789. This visit was part of a history tour I completed in July 2025. I was with 50 History teachers and we studied Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe. Check out my Shorts and Livestreams to see more content from that trip.
