CLUES TO COVINGTON'S PAST UNCOVERED
What did preservationists find underneath part of the former Jacob Price site? The answer provides an important link to Covington's history and the people who lived on this corner. An exclusive report is at the link. 
"Outhouses are interesting in many ways because people threw things in there that they didn't think people would look at again, so you look in there and you see secrets, like people who wanted to grow their hair back or liquor bottles," said Jeannine Kreinbrink, who led the excavation.
