Bob Genheimer, Cincinnati Museum Center’s George Rieveschl Curator of Archaeology, along with students from Northern Kentucky University’s Master’s program, has excavated and studied local privy sites dating from the late 1800s. Starting February 1, Medicine, Marbles and Mayhem: Unearthed Stores from Nineteenth Century Privies will showcase the unique items found during their excavations. These privies, essentially nineteenth century outhouses, have yielded a fascinating collection that offer insight into the private and everyday lives of ordinary individuals. Looking through the artifacts, visitors will get a snapshot of what life was like for locals in the late 1800s—from items like dishware and medicine bottles to children’s toys, you will be surprised to uncover a world strangely similar to, yet different from life today. Medicine, Marbles and Mayhem runs through May 26, 2014 and is a collaborative effort between Northern Kentucky University Masters of Public History and Anthropology students and Cincinnati Museum Center.
