\"\"<\/a>“If this Place Could Talk: Researching the History of an Old House” is a talk I am giving at the College of Southern Maryland<\/a> on Oct 19, 2012.\u00a0\u00a0The free program takes place at the Leonardtown\u00a0Campus, 22950 Hollywood Road, Building A, Auditorium, Leonardtown\u00a0 at 7:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

Just as families have a past, old houses and properties have histories. When was the structure built? Who lived in it? How has it\u00a0changed over time? And what are its stories? The lecture will\u00a0introduce participants to strategies of discovery: organizing a research process, finding available records and documents, and \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 interpreting the findings.<\/p>\n

The program is part of the Maryland Humanities Council’s speakers bureau <\/a>series.\u00a0 It brings historians, writers, poets, and living history scholar-actors to the community to present programs to audiences across Maryland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
