Very much enjoyed visiting Pope's Creek, the birthplace of George Washington, and site of a rebuilt farm plantation meant to reflect what was there at the time. Beautiful grounds, and easy walking. Enthusiastic and informative staff, especially "Ranger Bill", who had what appeared to be encyclopedic knowledge of the Washington family, the times, and the plantation, and was a wonderful storyteller. Well worth a visit!

We took multiple trips to this beach area. It was so clean and everyone was respecting everyone's space. This was during the pandemic.

It's easy to drive right past the historical markers at 55 mph. But, if you slow down and turn into the drive, you'll find a well kept property steeped in history. The museum and visitor's center is small but well designed and handicapped accessible. My husband was able easily enter and move about the museum while on his mobility scooter. He also loved the collection of historical artifacts -- especially the china. The docent was well informed and enjoyed spending time talking with us about colonial American history. It was an afternoon well spent.
