Outhouse Archaeology

Mark Youngblood will be visiting the Warden’s House Museum to share his unique style of unearthing history.  Mr. Youngblood has spent more than 30 years locating and excavating 19th and early 20th century privies and outhouse locations.  A century ago, folks used their outhouses as garbage dumps – but what was trash 100 years ago are sometimes today’s historic artifacts.
 
Mr. Youngblood will share some of his techniques, stories, and a few favorite items he’s discovered at this presentation anyone interested in local history won’t want to miss!
