Mount Vernon Promo Casts George Washington as Presidential Badass

“While you can’t re-elect him, you can reacquaint yourself with him.”

That’s the line used to sell a weekend trip to Mount Vernon, “the original Washington Monument”, in this smart clip created by Havit to promote tourism at the Original President’s favorite place to hang out, tend to his tobacco farm and discuss the day’s events with his 318 slaves.

Great idea to frame it as a campaign ad spoof casting Washington as a candidate in order to make the prospect of visiting Mount Vernon just a tiny bit more hip.
