Button Farm’s outhouse was in use until 1950 when modern plumbing was installed in the farmhouse. In 2021 this relic of the past was knocked from its foundation during a violent wind storm.
The open-pit, now surrounded by fencing, may provide an important opportunity for archaeology as household refuse and artifacts were often disposed of in outhouse pits.
Near the pavilion and parking area, you will see a modern version of the outhouse. Our new Clivus Multrum M54 composting toilet turns human waste into fertile soil for gardens. Check out the video to see how this modern marvel works. Then take a seat and experience it for yourself!
