In a manner similar to Monticello, buildings at each side of the main house were connected by walkways, covered here.
There were many restored outbuildings on the estate, including the stable and bunk house both below.
Washing was such a huge task that it had its own building, running six days a week to keep up. Us spending an hour at a laundromat every week or so doesn't seem too bad. Making fabric was a similar endeavor.
In the visitor center museum there were several very detailed dioramas and displays. I think the horse below is supposed to be Blueskin, one of his two primary horses.
The inauguration display.
One final view of the main house.
We had really bad DC traffic getting back to the boat. At one point we literally spent about 45 minutes going a little more than a quarter mile.
