George Washington's Boyhood Home Found

George Washington’s boyhood home has been found.

Researchers announced Wednesday that remains excavated in the last three years were those of the long-sought dwelling, on the old family farm in Virginia 50 miles south of Washington. The house stood on a terrace overlooking the Rappahannock River, where legend has it the boy threw a stone or a coin across to Fredericksburg.


That'll be an interesting place to visit. I wonder how many men will go there and try to throw a rock, or even a silver dollar, across the river?
