Unearthed Americana- George Washington 1st home

Interesting, they found the home of George Washington. I wonder if they have found that cherry tree he chopped down- I wonder what these findings will tell us about America's first President? What was his child hood like?

Unearthed Americana
After an exhaustive three year dig, archaeologists in Virginia have discovered the boyhood home of George Washington. The excavation has yielded a number of remarkable artifacts which support accounts of the first president's childhood. The New York Times has more on this story, including a slide show of some of the finds.
