Historic Sites in Waldorf

"One of America's most visited historic sites, Mount Vernon was the beloved home of George and Martha Washington, who lived here from the time of their marriage in 1759 until George's death in 1799.

No veggie sampler in the area comes close to the one here, with its round of injera holding a rainbow of vivid little piles."
