The George Washington Birthplace Association lends support to the George Washington Birthplace National Monument ("the Park"), a 550-acre national park on the site of our first president's birth in the Northern Neck of Virginia. The Association provides assistance to the Park in the form of funding for special needs, interpretive activities, and educational programs. To further these programs, we hope you will consider becoming a member of this prestigious organization for only $25.00 (single) or $45.00 (family). At this time of reduced emphasis on history in our public schools, historic sites are more important than ever. Your support of the George Washington Birthplace Association is crucial to increasing the level of historical education at the Birthplace. One of the many benefits of membership is the Association's annual historical journal, Popes Creek Chronicles. The journal documents the lifestyle of the Washington family for the four generations who lived at Popes Creek Plantation in Westmoreland County (including George, who was born there). Much of the content is based on Washington family artifacts unearthed at this site, and this provides some unique insight for lovers of all things Washington. You may purchase the journal for $10.00, or receive it free with your membership. As a member of the Association, you also receive free admission to George Washington Birthplace National Monument, located in Westmoreland County, Virginia. After your guided tour, visit our gift shop and receive a 10% discount on all purchases.
