Happy #NationalCatDay to @MountVernon's resident cats, Johnny & Sid! Though there are no references to pet cats @MountVernon in the 18th century, there were probably “barn cats,” prized for their ability to keep the rodent population under control.
Celebrate the history of wine in Virginia at @MountVernon, evening tours of the Mansion and cellar, and a live blues band, October 5-7. https://t.co/2hgEdqNmts
