Describing it as a cemetery being replaced by an IHOP is ridiculous, but apparently very effective. I wouldn’t’ve thought Freepers were so gullible for media bias. It makes sense for an archeological museum to include food service, but this is primarily an archaeological museum.
So far, three sets of remains have been discovered at the site, but it was never a cemetary. There may be more. The story makes it seem like the 10-acre site will be covered over by an IHOP-based strip mall, forever preventing archaeological research. The reality is that the site was chosen FOR the archaeological research.
It could be the largest Revolutionary War cemetery? That’s a little bit like finding a flake of gold in a river bed and declaring it COULD be the largest gold mine in the world. Do you really think that most Revolutionary War dead were simply dug into the ground of a supply depot?
The site of any permanent structure MUST thoroughly searched. And it makes sense for 3rd party citizens to keep a tight eye on things. But to fundamentally mischaracterize an historical museum as an IHOP betrays that something else sinister (and probably leftist) is at foot, here.
There you go, using facts to spoil everyone’s fun.

The Fishkill Depot complex also included a large hospital and at least one large encampment of recuperating invalid soldiers was located nearby.
