Anita,
 
More reconstructed buildings:  In fall 1996 the Mount Vernon Ladies'
Association completed a five-year project to reconstruct five agricultural
buildings -- a unique 16-sided treading barn and two associated stables and
two corn houses -- that originally had been built at the direction of George
Washington in 1793-95.  The originals were located at his Dogue Run Farm, one
of four outlying farms making up the Mount Vernon plantation.  As the site of
the original structures is in a housing development, the Association elected
to reconstruct the complex on their 500-acre property, about one-half mile
from the Mount Vernon mansion (and about 2-1/2 miles from the site).  The
reconstructions serve as the core of a 4-acre living history farm that
attempts to interpret 18th-century farming and, in particular, George
Washington's many innovative agricultural pursuits.
 
If you are interested in learning more, please visit the "mountvernon.org" web
site, which has a special section on "George Washington: Pioneer Farmer."
There is an article posted there that I wrote that deals with various aspects
of the reconstruction project.
 
Also, I think that Historic St. Mary's City recently completed a
reconstruction of at least one structure in the 17th-century capital that is
not precisely on the footprint of the original.  Perhaps Silas Hurry could
provide more info on that.
 
Good luck,
Dennis J. Pogue
