Archaeologists in Virginia unearth colonial-era garden with clues about its enslaved gardeners
Archaeologists in Virginia are uncovering an ornamental garden from the 1700s where a wealthy politician and enslaved gardeners grew exotic plants from around the world. Such plots of land served as status symbols. They were the 18th-century equivalent of buying a Lamborghini. The garden in Williamsburg belonged to tobacco grower John Custis IV, who also served in the colonial legislature. His garden has long intrigued historians.

ALTON, Va. — Round 8 of the 2024 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge was a tale of two races for the Grand Sport (GS) class.

But when a full-course yellow halfway through the two-hour race interrupted matters amid a round of pit stops and driver exchanges, the No. 38 BGB Motorsports Porsche emerged in the lead, with Spencer Pumpelly having taken over from Thomas Collingwood. Although Trent Hindman matched teammate McAleer’s earlier form in the No. 28, Pumpelly never left a glimmer of an opening over the closing hour and came home 0.373 seconds clear of Hindman to win the race.
