President George Washington's boyhood home excavated

[MrLabGuy]

The house in Stafford County, Va., on a property now known as Ferry Farm, is on the banks of the Rappahannock across from Fredericksburg and is about 50 miles southwest of Washington, D.C.

Ironically in 1994 there was almost a WalMart built on-top of the site which would have covered the long lost home.

Evidently they did find that there were lots of cherry trees in that area. They found one that was cut down and then stuck together again with rawhide string and boards like splints....
