According to Washington's will, he was buried on his property.
Several years later, his remains as well as 30 other members were moved to a new location, still on the property.
Washington was always experimenting with farming techniques. This is the upper floor of a wheat threshing experiment. First, wheat is laid on the floor and then horses trotted in a circle to thresh the wheat that fell between cracks in the floor.

had full dentures made for him before he took his oath of office. Not made of wood. Human and Cow teeth, and Ivory.
The Potomac River
