The museum announced the site’s discovery on Tuesday, May 14, 2024. Archaeologists at Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia work around a chimney base in the summer of 2023 at a site where military barracks are believed to have stood during the American Revolution.
Maps and documents from the time reference a barracks built between 1776 and 1777 for the Continental army as it fought the British, the museum said in a statement this week. The structure was designed to accommodate up to 2,000 soldiers and 100 horses. The site was discovered during an archaeological dig required ahead of the construction of a proposed regional sports complex. Its planned footprint has since been shifted to preserve the roughly 3 to 4 acre barracks site.
