Talking About Researching the History of an Old House in Princess Anne

Posted on February 19, 2012May 9, 2013 by Mike

Last Week I was in Princess Anne talking to Somerset County Library patrons about how to investigate the history of an old house.  A little research can cause a property to give up some of the puzzle such as when it was built, who lived in it and its stories.  Several of the patrons  had old houses they were interested in examining so we talked about research strategies, interpretation methods, and how to document the structure.
