Archeologists are thrilled to have finally found, the boyhood home, of the first President of the United States, General George Washington. The dig took place in Virginia, after several dead ends and seven years of trying to find the site, they finally struck gold, so to speak. The George Washington Foundation's spokesperson, said that they hope to fill in many holes, in the first president's history. They are
very excited by the discovery.
So far, they have unearthed many, many artifacts, including pieces of ceramics, kettle fragments, toothbrush handles, pottery and hair rollers or rods, used for the stately wigs worn during that time.
They located the area where the Washington families' fireplace stood. They are still searching for the dairy house and the smoke house.
It is thought that the surrounding landscape, holds many answers to the president's attributes and his roots.
It is believed that Washington lived in this particular house, from the ages of six years to the age of twenty, from 1738 to 1752.
So far, they have not found the hatchet, that Washington supposedly used to chop down the infamous cherry tree.
They will continue to scour the dig, to uncover more and more, historical information, that will be of great interest to many people.
