LAKE GEORGE, N.Y. (WCAX) – The remains of Revolutionary War soldiers were transported to their final resting place in New York on Wednesday.
The remains of 44 people were found in 2019 during a construction project in Lake George.
They were taken to the New York State Museum, where scientists spent years identifying them.
On Wednesday, the remains were moved from the museum with a dignified transfer of wooden caskets and taken to Lake George Battlefield Park for interment.
Experts say the remains belonged to American soldiers and other personnel who likely died in 1776.
