A village was found underground in Central Park, New York. "Seneca Village" was a mixture of African-Americans and Irish (2/3 African Americans and 1/3 Irish). In the 1840's Irish immigrants came to the village. The village dates back to 1827-1857 and has been buried for 150 years ago. The excavation uncovered the home of William Godfree Wilson. The homes were 2 to 3 story high. They also found blue and white china, 3 churches and letters that stated they were forced to leave and was given little money for their property by the city of New York.
