Archeologists excavating Mount Vernon, the historic home of the first President of the United States, George Washington, have made a fascinating discovery. While the tale of young George Washington and the cherry tree may be a myth, the recent find of 35 glass bottles filled with cherries and berries is very real.
The discovery was made in five storage pits located in the mansion's cellar. A total of 29 bottles were found intact, containing perfectly preserved cherries and berries, likely gooseberries or currants.
