Pay tribute to the oldest military decoration in the U.S. at the home of its founder, George Washington.

Join Mount Vernon and members of the Military Order of the Purple Heart for the estate’s official National Purple Heart Day Commemoration Ceremony to recognize Purple Heart recipients.

Visit the Purple Heart Memorial Trail Marker, which was dedicated by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association and the Military Order of the Purple Heart to commemorate the establishment of the Purple Heart decoration.

Purple Heart recipients receive free admission to Mount Vernon all year.
