Wakefield Plantation, Though Isolated,
le Well Worth a Visit—Monument
Erected by National Govern-
ment on Ground Where
Hoots Stood.
It will doubtless come as something
of a surprise to most readers, and
possibly as something of a shock, to
learn that one of the most historic
localities connected with the career
of the foremost American should be
today almost wholly neglected by his
countrymen. This notable object of
neglect In this age of patriotic shrines
is none other than the birthplace of
George Washington at Wakefield plan-
tation. on the Virginia shore of the
Ixrwer Potomac river. It is not that
this significant spot is unmarked—
a grateful nation has seen to it that
no place associated with George \N ash-

Monument Marking Birthplace of
George Washington.
ington is devoid of monument or com-
memorative tablet—but that it is
seemingly wholly unknown to those
countless thousands of patriotic pil-
grims who delight to do homage to
Washington by visits to localities
rendered conspicuous through his
career.
The neglect of Wakefield, where the
Father of His Country first opened
his eyes upon the world, is all the
more strange when it is pointed out
that it is located less than half
day s journey by steamer from Mount
Vernon—that preeminent mecca for
the American tourist and for foreign
visitors which is visited each year by
thousands upon thousands of sight-
seers. The people who visit the Old
Dominion primarily to see Mount Ver-
non never think of returning home
without a peep at the quaint town of
Alexandria, where Washington at-
tended church and engaged in other
public activities, and not a few of
them also make journeys to various
historic mansions which the first pres-
ident designed or built, as, for in-
stance. the mansion which he built for
his beloved Nelly Custls. but seeming-
ly the touring throng has quite over-
looked the fact that the savior of hia
country had a birthplace.
The odd thing about the present-
day neglect of Wakefield plantation is
that the old farm waa visited by vast-
ly greater numbera of people a few
years ago than it has been more re-
cently. The secret of the whole
thing is that Washington s birthplace
is very isolated Indeed, it would be
difficult to find a more out-of the-wav
nook In the eastern part of the
United States No railroad approaches
within many milea of it, and the only
means of access is found in the steam-
ers plying up and down the Potomac
river. In days gone by these river
craft carried many interested per-
sons to Wakefield The United States
government built a pier at the planta-
tion. and steamers were enabled to
land passengers almost at the site of
the manor house in which Washington
was born.
As has been said, the historic spot
at Wakefield has not been left un-
marked. although isolated and neglect-
ed insofar as the tide of twentieth-cen-
tury tourist travel is concerned It
was in 1S9o that the national govern-
ment erected at Wakefield a copy of
facsimile in reduced sixe of the Wash-
ington national monument at the na-
tional capital The unadorned shaft,
which is somewhat similar (though
larger i to the one at Yorktown mark-
ing the spot where Lord Cornwallis
surrendered to the commander-in chief
of the Continental army, ia visible for
some distance on the Potomac river,
but cannot be seen from the decks of
the regular river steamers by reason
of the fact that the navigable channel
ia several milea distant.
The monument bears the Inscrip-
tion: "Washington’s Birthplace.” and
In smaller letters at the baae are the
words Erected by the United Statag,
k. D 1W5."
