Every building has a history, and your house has a great story to tell. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to uncover house histories: who built them and when, their architectural styles, and the stories of the families who called them home. Join us on Friday, July 6, to find out what to do with that information.

 

Participants can “attend” remotely, if they prefer. See our website for full details.
