Mount Vernon is a small community in Virginia, most famous for being the home of the Washington family. It was the birthplace of Lawrence Washington, a politician and secret member of the Templar Order, as well as the older brother of George Washington.

In 1752, the Assassin Shay Cormac infiltrated the docks at Mount Vernon and intercepted a special package meant for Lawrence: a state-of-the-art air rifle, which he promptly tested on a guard. Leaving the ship, Shay was able to locate Lawrence as he met with his fellow Templars in the midst of a garden party.

As Lawrence walked around the grounds entertaining his guests, Shay was able to approach the man and kill him undetected, before making his escape on the Morrigan.
