Washington's DeathGeorge Washington died in his bed, at his home Mount Vernon, which is in Alexandria, Virginia, where he is also buried.

Washington preferred to spend his last years in happy retirement at Mount Vernon, Virginia. In mid-December, Washington contracted what was probably quinsy or throat infection and died at his estate on Dec. 14, 1799.

The bed he died in was later in a bedroom at Arlington, an upstairs bedroom at Arlington, the home of George Washington Custis. Arlington later was inherited by Mary Custis Lee, the only child to grow to adulthood. Arlington was seized by the Union at the beginning of the Civil War and was made a cemetery for Union soldiers.
