This dramatically beautiful tree is on the east lawn of Mount Vernon towering over the broad Potomac River. I don't know how old this tree is, but I read a sign on a tulip poplar tree on the west lawn that said Washington planted it in 1785. The grounds of Mount Vernon are beautiful. If you go, be sure to allow time to wander the forest trail down to the riverbank, time to read all of the interesting signs about what you are seeing.
