Researching Your Historic House – What the Pros Know!

Museum of Old Newbury director Bethany Groff Dorau will share resources available at the Museum of Old Newbury, while researchers Barb and Ellie Bailey will share some of their tips and tricks of the trade as they research houses for the Newburyport Preservation Trust: Historic House Plaque Program. We’ll also hear from a Newburyport homeowner who uncovered some fascinating research about their old home.
