The Fred W. Smith National Library for the Study of George Washington at Mount Vernon is designed to advance knowledge about our first president’s legacy. The 45,000-square-foot building, sited within walking distance of Washington’s home, will serve as a safe haven for his books and letters, and a center for education about his leadership. A wing of conference facilities will support programs devoted to the founding father’s achievements and ethics. A freestanding residence next to the library will enable visiting scholars to live close to their work. The National Library will become a worldwide resource for teaching millions of people – often for the first time — about Washington’s remarkable contributions to our country and his commitment to the cause of liberty.
