Archaeologists discovered 35 glass bottles of the preserved fruit buried in a cellar, Mount Vernon officials announced on Thursday.
Buried in the cellar of George Washington 's Mount Vernon home, a treasure trove was waiting to be discovered – an enormous amount of preserved cherries. Archaeologists discovered 35 glass bottles with cherries, Mount Vernon officials announced on Thursday, just a few weeks after two bottles were found in April.'Never in our wildest dreams did we imagine this spectacular archaeological discovery,' said Mount Vernon President Doug Bradburn.
'The bottles and contents are a testament to the knowledge and skill of the enslaved people who managed the food preparations from tree to table, including Doll, the cook brought to Mount Vernon by Martha Washington in 1759 and charged with oversight of the estate's kitchen,' Mount Vernon officials said in the statement.
