These woods should have been a treasure-trove of Revolutionary War artifacts. Yet recent archeological work here have yielded not a single remnant from the 2,500 British soldiers who camped here in 1777.

Over the years some people illegally "relic-hunted" in Victory Woods. Digging ruined its earthworks. Their greed robbed you of your heritage. Lawful, sensitive, and scientific archeology can recover vital information and historic objects that benefit all Americans.

Federal law prevents looting of historic sites. In 1979 Congress passed the Archeological Resources Protection Act. But just having this law in place did not prevent terrible losses in Victory Woods.
