It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The plantation was a working farm for many years and included a gristmill, sawmill, and blacksmith shop. Located in the Yadkin River Valley, Mount Vernon is surrounded by rolling hills, forests, and farmland and is a popular spot for hiking, fishing, and other outdoor activities.
