George Washington's Remarkable Solutions

Why did Washington build a barn with sixteen sides? How could a plant be made into a shirt? Did Washington really own a chair with pedals? Step into the world of George Washington—not as president, but as an active farmer, curious innovator, and creative problem-solver. Uncover surprising facts about life at Mount Vernon—like how poop was used to make plants grow, how a lamp without electricity burned brighter than six candles, and what a hopper boy did. Packed with cool details, fun activities, and real-life stories, this book brings history to life in the most unexpected ways.
