The Accokeek Foundation is a member-supported, nonprofit organization, originally founded to help preserve the view from Mount Vernon as it was in George Washington’s time. Your tax-deductible contribution supports multi-faceted educational programs in history, ecology, and agriculture that serve tens of thousands of school children and visitors annually.
You’ll also be supporting research, enhancement and maintenance of the 18th century National Colonial Farm; maintenance of hiking trails and the fishing pier; preservation of various heritage breed animals; workshops on gardening and stewardship practices; and the research and work of the Ecosystem Farm, a model of organic and sustainable agriculture.
An individual membership is $25, a family membership is $45, and a sustaining membership is $100. Members receive free or discounted admission to public events hosted by the Foundation, discounts on classes and workshops, invitations to “Friends Only” events, newsletters with the latest information about the Foundation, and a 10% discount at the Visitor Center gift shop.
