George Washington was the very first president of the United States! A long time ago, he was a brave leader who helped our country become free. People called him the “Father of His Country” because he was so important. He was a kind and strong leader who always tried to do what was best for everyone.
George Washington lived on a big farm called Mount Vernon with his wife, Martha. He loved being outdoors and riding horses. Today, we can still see George Washington’s face on the dollar bill and the quarter! We remember him as a hero who helped start our country.
