Fall Harvest Family Days Return to Mount Vernon

Although Gail Cassidy has worked in various capacities at Mount Vernon for years, she gets almost as much enjoyment from Fall Harvest Family Days as the guests who attend.

Storytelling, horse-drawn wagon rides, a straw bale maze, early American games and even 18th-century dancing fill the two-day celebration. As much as Cassidy and other adults take away from the festival, though, youngsters are the ones who really seem to soak up the most fun.
