The British military maintained a series of latrines in the northwest corner of the fort. The final structure was probably built in 1775, after the existing latrine collapsed. It is unclear if soldiers moved the latrine to Mackinac Island or if the building was simply abandoned and destroyed in 1781.
Archaeologists excavated the latrines in 1968, discovering large numbers of artifacts discarded in the vaults. The latrine was rebuilt in 1983.
Today, exhibits help you learn about military hygiene in the 18th century.
