The most popular historic estate in the U.S., Mount Vernon receives about 1 million visitors annually.
Bradburn is currently overseeing a privately funded preservation project to ensure the structural integrity of George Washington’s mansion for decades to come. The $40 million project, which started last year and will stretch to 2026, includes designing and installing a new HVAC system, improving drainage in and around the mansion’s cellar and repairing sections of the building’s framing and masonry.
Bradburn has been with Mount Vernon since 2013, when he joined as the founding director of the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon. He became president and CEO of the estate owned and maintained by the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association in 2018.
Bradburn, who has a doctorate in history from the University of Chicago and a bachelor’s degree in history and economics from the University of Virginia, is an author and a scholar of early American history. He chaired the history department at the State University of New York at Binghamton before joining Mount Vernon.
