Part of our First Friday lecture series
Presented by Meaghan E. H. Siekman, PhD October 7, 2016 noon-1 pm
NEHGS, 99-101 Newbury Street Boston, MA

Behind the walls of most New England homes lies a story waiting to be discovered.

Join NEHGS Senior Researcher and former curator of the Fairbanks House, Meaghan Siekman, to learn how to reveal the history of a home using material culture and written records.

She will use case studies to demonstrate how various research strategies, available sources, and physical evidence combine to reconstruct the past of the structure and its inhabitants.
