Archaeologists discovered centuries-old cherries surprisingly well-preserved inside two glass bottles stashed in George Washington’s historic Virginia home.
They found the bottles during excavations as part of a major revitalization of the first US president’s mansion, known as Mount Vernon, the Washington Post reported.
According to a statement from Mount Vernon, the bottles, appearing to date from the 1740s to 1750s, were unearthed beneath a brick floor laid in the 1770s.
