If your walls could talk, what would they tell you? When the house was built? Why there's a window in the hall closet? What a 1,200 pound fire safe is doing in the basement? The Lakewood Historical Society's Mary Gagen guides you through the process of researching your home with step-by-step instructions on how to begin, where to go and how to interpret what you've found. With examples from Mary's own research and handouts to get you started, you'll be ready to start a whole new conversation with your home.
