Mt. Vernon was the plantation home of Washington in 1787 he paid 18 shillings to bring a camel to Mt. Vernon to entertain his guests. On the plantation were many different crops, 3 ice cream freezers, and a distillery for whiskey. Reports state he made the best whiskey in the colonies. He died there and is buried there. Years after his death the plantation house had been allowed to fall in ruins until a society formed to save the house and because of their efforts and work you can visit it today. Annapolis is the capital of Maryland and sits on Chesapeake bay. It was a political and administrative capital during the revolution and a major center for the Atlantic slave trade. In 1783 it became the temporary capital of the United States and it where Washington resigned his commission as commander in chief of the army. During the civil war a prisoner of war parole camp was set up.
