From the adventure map that was given to Abby and Xander at Mount Vernon: "George Washington had many cows, sheep, horses, mules and pigs at Mount Vernon. To keep the animals from getting too close to the Mansion, he built a low wall into the hill. It was better than a fence, because you couldn't see it! If you were playing on the lawn and didn't know the wall was there, you might fall off it and everyone would laugh. This may be why these walls, made of brick were called ha-ha walls."
