Move over, George Washington.
When it comes to that tout celebrities “who slept here,” the first president of the United States will have to share that bed, er, honor, with Teddy Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Judy Garland, Ernest Hemingway and Susan B. Anthony, to name a few.
But it’s Washington who may hold the record for the number of places that claim the . After all, the eastern seaboard is littered with homes, inns, taverns, lighthouses and was said to have slept in his quest to “present himself to the citizens of the shaky new union,” according to .
And, if you haven’t noticed, “George Washington Slept Here” is the biggest clich茅 this side of “location, location, location.”

George Washington

 

 

Mount Jackson, VA

For Sale: $399,900

Despite the remodel and system upgrades, this house maintains the aura of the original 18th century structure that served as one of the places where the “father of our country” caught some shut-eye. This home, the oldest on the market, is billed as a place where “Geo.Washington Slept.” Built in 1750, this fantastic restored log home sits on Mill Creek in the Shenandoah Valley. It may have touches that Washington never saw, like new appliances, central air, granite counters and hammered copper sinks, other facets harken back 260 years: a wine cellar, stone walls, five fireplaces, random pine floors, stone chimneys and exposed log. Clearly, these logs weren’t cherry wood, otherwise, maybe the honest first president would have taken a swing at them.
