Question: where do turkeys go after being pardoned by the president

title: National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation
text: The phrase `` presidential pardon '' in that ceremony was apparently inserted by a speechwriter ; Bush initially was indifferent to the terminology , saying `` ' Reprieve , ' ' keep him going , ' or ' pardon ' : it 's all the same for the turkey , as long as he does n't end up on the president 's holiday table . '' Since then , at least one of the turkeys presented to the President has been taken to a farm where it will live out the rest of its natural life . For many years the turkeys were sent to Frying Pan Farm Park in Fairfax County , Virginia . From 2005 to 2009 , the pardoned turkeys were sent to either the Disneyland Resort in California or the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida , where they served as the honorary grand marshals of Disney 's Thanksgiving Day Parade . In 2010 , 2011 and 2012 , the turkeys were sent to live at Mount Vernon , the estate and home of George Washington ; Mount Vernon stopped displaying and accepting the turkeys due to the fact that they violated the estate 's policy of maintaining its own historical accuracy ( Washington never farmed turkeys ) . The 2013 , 2014 and 2015 turkeys were sent to Morven Park in Leesburg , Virginia , the estate of former Virginia governor ( and prolific turkey farmer ) Westmoreland Davis . Virginia Polytechnic Institute housed the 2016 pardoned turkey as well as the 2017 turkeys ; Virginia Tech was chosen because of the college 's poultry science program , and the National Turkey Federation wanted to begin a tradition of cooperation between the turkey industry and universities .
