Before plumbing came to the farm, this small building served as the site's toilet. It is a reconstruction—the original was torn down. This outhouse features a seat with two holes. This was not unusual as many outhouses had different sized holes for adults and children. There are also some pages from an old Sears and Roebuck Catalog in the structure. Farmers wouldn't waste money on purchasing toilet paper when they could recycle something they no longer needed!
