For dogs who are lovers of history and humans who are lovers of dogs, Mount Vernon is offering walking tours of George Washington’s former stomping ground for a limited time.

Beginning Saturday, pooches and their owners can take a hike from the Bowling Green Gate to the historic West Gate of the first president’s estate while learning about Washington’s home and dogs. The 90-minute “All the President’s Pups” tour, which begins at 10 a.m., will run through June 29.

The Huffington Post has more information:

The tours will take in five locations around the dog-loving president’s estate — including, says spokesperson Melissa Wood, the 12-acre field where dogs may have once herded Washington’s sheep and the present-day kennels for the present-day dogs who still earn their place keeping foxes away from Mount Vernon’s resident flock.

The sheep still grazing Mount Vernon’s expansive lawns are heritage breeds, similar to the animals Washington himself would have raised. However, Wood says that, to the best of her knowledge, none of Mount Vernon’s current dogs is a descendent of George Washington’s original pack.

“They’re all shelter dogs,” she says.

Dogs who don’t require a special tour are welcome outside year-round during daytime visitation hours.

Washington kept many dogs at his Northern Virginia estate and bred some for fox hunting, according to Mount Vernon. The president was also very creative when naming his dogs. Go ahead and imagine Washington calling out the names Sweet Lips, Venus, Truelove, Taster, Tippler, and Drunkard.
