Have you ever wondered who lived in your home or who designed it? Researching a home’s history can be a lot of fun when you know how—as long as you’re internet savvy, you’ll be able to follow some easy steps.

Author of Mod Mirage and local historian and researcher Melissa Riche will take you through some case studies that illustrate the sort of exciting discoveries that can be made; she’ll also explain the different methods she uses—all available to the public. Bring a laptop or iPad if you like. Hand-out sheets will be provided. This seminar is limited to 50 participants and advance registration is required.
