Baltimore’s tribute to the nation’s first President is looking great after an 18-month, $6 million renovation by the Mount Vernon Place Conservancy. Closed in 2010, the monument reopened July 4, 2015, 200 years after the laying of its original cornerstone.

Inside, visitors can enjoy the bust of the President, the centennial plaque and a gallery with touchscreen tours. It’s 227 marble steps to the top of the tower, but the view of Baltimore from 250 feet above sea level is well worth the climb! The facility is open Wednesday-Sunday 10am – 5pm (except Thanksgiving and Christmas Days). It is also open Wednesday evenings in August for evening events in the park squares

Plan to visit soon, during Groupon’s great offer:

$7.25 for a visit for two ($12 value)
$13.50 for a visit for four ($24 value)

If this is your first visit to the Groupon site you’ll need to do a quick sign-up, but it’s painless and a great way to save money.

Mount Vernon Place is the scene of annual Baltimore traditions such as the FlowerMart. Held the first Friday and Saturday of May, the Flower Mart features a wide variety of flowers for sale, along with arts and crafts, food and children’s programs. Mount Vernon Place is also home to the Lemon Stick Festival in May, another Baltimore tradition with activities, contests and fun events for the whole family. The Lighting of the Washington Monument, held the first Thursday in December, is another family event with musical performances, entertainment and food and drink.

Mount Vernon Place is the centerpiece of a National Historic Landmark District in Baltimore’s famous Mount Vernon neighborhood. Located around the squares are stunning examples of 19th century architecture. As Baltimore’s historic cultural center, Mount Vernon is home to internationally recognized art and history museums, opera halls, theaters and symphony orchestras as well as fabulous restaurants.
