A cemetery surrounded by boxwood holds the interred remains of one hundred and fifty-six men and two women. The remains were discovered in 1930 during excavations of the Palace gardens. Items found at the time of discovery indicate that some of the burials are likely soldiers of the Continental Army who died at the Palace when George Washington used it as a military hospital at the end of the Revolutionary War in 1781.
