The Roseland Office and Apothecary

 

While Sturdivant Hall is the main attraction on the Sturdivant Museum property,

this handsome Greek Revival structure is well worth a visit. 

It was once the office/apothecary at Roseland Plantation near Uniontown 

and was given to the Sturdivant Association for preservation.

Seven Seater

Here is the "Cadillac" of outhouses!

This seven-seater privy was donated to the Sturdivant Museum Association in 1979, but its move from Roseland Plantation in Marengo County was delayed until 2005. It was restored the next year. No longer operational, visitors can peek inside to see two seats for men, three for women and two for children.

The privy was in use on the 1200-acre plantation prior to 1850. Roseland was established in the 1820s by James H. Fitts.
