    Researching the History of Your House

    Interested in seeing how old your home is? Want to know who owned your business location before you? In this Not Strictly History workshop, Shiloh staff will walk you through a property’s history from start to finish, using land records, deeds, maps, photos and various other tools. This process is exactly what we do when someone requests information about their home or business. We will also show you what you can expect to find if you live outside Washington County. This event is virtual and requires registration, which can be done below.
