MT VERNON. This section of town owes its name to the towering 178-foot monument to our first president, which dominates the area. When this neighborhood was created in 1827, it was considered an upscale, fashionable place to live, and that is still the case today. Lovely, ornate townhomes, relaxing parks and gardens, fine shops, and plenty of special touches such as fountains and statues make this a pleasant, historic place for a stroll. Take in the classic architecture after visiting a gallery or attending a cultural event in lovely Mount Vernon.
