Episode Synopsis

In September 2017, archaeologists began excavation on an outhouse, or a privy, found behind the Pierce-Hichborn house next to Paul Revere's family home in Boston. Revere, famously known for his midnight ride to warn the colonists about the British invasion during the Revolutionary War, has contributed a lot to American history—and apparently, a lot can be learned from his bathroom habits. Join us as we uncover the historical insights gleaned from these archaeological findings.
