Mount Vernon presents a stunning replica of George Washington’s personal copy of Acts of Congress 1789, a historic volume that played a key role in shaping the new American government. This faithful reproduction features the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, along with Washington’s own handwritten margin notes, where he carefully underlined and commented on key passages outlining the powers and responsibilities of the presidency.

Washington originally received this book as the first President of the United States. It was bound in rich leather with gold accents, and it remained in his personal library at Mount Vernon after he retired from office in 1797. In 2012, the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association successfully acquired the original volume ensuring its return to Washington’s beloved home. This faithful reproduction allows history enthusiasts to experience the very book that guided the nation’s first president.
