Where Did Mount Vernon in Miniature Go?
Mount Vernon in miniature was removed in July 2014 for repair, and is slated to return in early 2015. Completed in 1998, this handcrafted model toured the nation before being placed on permanent display here in the Ford Orientation Center in 2006. Now, after 15 years of operation, its hidden mechanics, which allow sections of the exterior walls to lower, and the roof to rise, are being completely overhauled. |
