Ferry Farm has long been known as the boyhood home of George Washington; why hasn’t the house been uncovered already?
Several people have claimed to have found the Washington house. For example, early in the 20th century, the farmer who owned Ferry Farm claimed to have built his house on the remains of the Washington house, but this was not true. Archaeology is a relatively new field, and there were few serious attempts to find the house. Two attempts were made in the 1990s, but the scale of those searches was so small that the chances of success were greatly reduced and both attempts failed.
