Experts at Mount Vernon said last week that Beard and other archaeologists have now discovered two intact bottles that still had, along with liquid, some of the cherries they contained when they were buried about 250 years ago.

Saw that earlier....

My visit to Mount Vernon, back in 2015, was one of the highlights of my trips with D4. She was astounded by my access to trivia, etc.

I bought some of the whiskey that was available in the gift shop. It wasn't very good, I might add.

But, there were some interesting trees...

D4, eventually got bored. I could have spent hours there.
