Event Details

Do you own an older property and wonder what tales lie hidden in its history? Exploring a property's records always uncovers some interesting human stories, from lives well lived to scandal and tragedy.  Local researcher Emily Kilby will share the methods and resources she has used in recovering detailed histories of the farmsteads and industries that once existed in her Fair Hill neighborhood, and give you the tools to help you discover your own property's story. Registration is required.
