Summary
Construction crews in Bismarck, North Dakota, uncovered human remains and coffin fragments during work on the Governor’s Residence, revealing a forgotten cemetery active from 1873 to 1877. Though bodies were thought to have been relocated in the 1880s, some remained buried—and this isn’t the first time: similar discoveries occurred during trolley line construction in 1903 and residence building in 1959. Ground-penetrating radar now suggests up to ten more graves may lie beneath the site, prompting a pause in construction as archaeologists carefully investigate. History, it turns out, is literally under our feet. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
