What lead to the discovery of the “footprint” of George Washingtons first home?”
After striking out at two other sites, scientists knew that they were successful in finding the actual remains of George Washington’s childhood home, Ferry Farm, by comparing the remains to written records of the home and by dating the thousands of artifacts they unearthed. It’s a very exciting discovery, and one that has baffled researchers for seven years with two other dead ends. Thank goodness Washington was a man who kept records and wrote letters, as these kinds of things were used to document and prove the heritage of this particular land.
