Slavery at Mount Vernon: Exhibit tells stories from George Washington's estate
The names of people who were enslaved on George’s Washington’s Mount Vernon estate are inscribed on the walls of what was their home: Tom Nokes. Vina. Barbara.
Their names are grouped together by family on the walls of a building that was once a residence for enslaved people at George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate. Their names are part of a new, permanent exhibit called “Lives Bound Together” that will open to the public on Juneteenth.
Director Doug Bradburn spoke with News4 about the importance of the exhibit.
“It’s critical in America that we tell full stories of our heroes, without whom we wouldn’t have a nation,” he said. “But on the other hand, he wouldn’t have been the man he was if he hadn’t depended upon enslaved labor, and those peoples’ lives were very important, and we can recover them in ways that you can’t typically do on an 18th century plantation estate.”
Information on the life and family of a woman named Doll is part of the exhibit. She arrived at Mount Vernon in 1759 at age 38. She was the matriarch of a large family who Washington would enslave into various jobs across his five farms.
In many cases, family members were split up and spread so far apart they would rarely be able to see each other.
“Bringing out their individuality and their humanity is something critical for us to do in this exhibit – something so important to the descendants of enslaved people here who worked with me on this exhibit,” a curator said.
The exhibit includes artifacts from digs, interactive media screens and oral history interview clips.
“It’s an ongoing thing. This isn’t something that you do once and then you’re done,” Bradburn said. “It’s an effort really to always do research, always find ways to make the stories impactful for people and to do it in a way that’s responsible and helps people understand.”

Republicans flee Washington after flap on Trump's 'weaponization fund' and ballroom spending
ARLINGTON, Va. — The Washington Capitals re-signed defenseman Timothy Liljegren to a two-year contract worth $6.5 million.
General manager Chris Patrick announced the deal Wednesday. Liljegren will count $3.25 million against the salary cap next season and in 2027-28.
The right-handed-shooting Swede played just four games for the Capitals after they acquired him from San Jose at the trade deadline in early March. He could have a bigger role next season as part of a blue line that is not expected to have John Carlson back after Washington sent the pending free agent to Anaheim on the eve of the deadline.
Now 27, Liljegren has 94 points in 324 regular season and playoff games in the NHL, with the vast majority of that time spent with Toronto.
The biggest question of the offseason for Patrick and the front office is the status of longtime captain, face of the franchise and career goal-scoring record holder Alex Ovechkin, who has not yet declared whether he’ll return for a 22nd season at age 41.
