Who Was Here? A Community Research Project - session 3

We often hear the same question from visitors and members interested in their family or house histories: “How do I find out more?” This summer, you can learn exactly how!
Guided by experienced researchers, you’ll learn how to use online research tools and navigate the historical record to piece together real lives from the past.
Participants will practice research skills by working with our historic jail records dating back to 1811 to uncover the stories of people once held at the Old Jail.
Along the way, findings will help shape future exhibit panels at the Old Jail Museum. Whether you’re interested in genealogy, local history, or learning new research skills, this program offers a hands-on way to explore the past while building tools you can use long after the program ends.
The Program will take place over four online evening sessions covering research skills, troubleshooting, and sharing of findings. June 17, July 1, July 22, & Aug 5, meeting times TBA.
