[edit] Trivia
- In the main parlor, the picture seems to frown when a person enters, and smiles when they leave.
- In Mary Ball Washington's bedroom, the portrait by the fireplace's eyes seem to roll and move.
- In the dining room, if the table is set, then the silverware and glasses seem to shake slightly, even when nothing moves them.
