The house at the fair contains replicas of the furniture, paintings, and many other items of the original Mount Vernon.    Mount Vernon represents one of the many prides of Virginia, thus being the home of the first president of the United States of America. Not only does the house represent Washington but it also portrays life in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The original Mount Vernon includes many farming fields, a greenhouse, stables, livestock, a blacksmith's shop and many other things. All of these represent classes represented in Virginia. For example, the size and beauty of the actual house represents the upper class life, while the shops and stables represent a working-class/lower class life.
