George Washington's home is located at which of the following?

• A. Monticello
• B. Valley Forge
• C. Mount Vernon
• D. Philadelphia

Answer: (C)

Mount Vernon is the home associated with George Washington. It’s his estate in Virginia along the Potomac River, where he lived for many years and retired after the Revolutionary War; today it’s a museum and historic site. Monticello belongs to Thomas Jefferson, not Washington. Valley Forge is known for the winter encampment of Washington’s army during the war, not for his residence. Philadelphia was a major city during the era and hosted important events, but it isn’t Washington’s home.
