Description

SWAMPSCOTT, MA — A town first settled nearly 400 years ago is going to have a lot of history. While your home might not go back quite that far, there is a good chance that most construction in the town has a story behind it. The Swampscott Historical Commission is looking to help residents learn those stories through a free virtual seminar Friday night. Ryan Judkins will share research tips, including finding deeds back to the original construction, accessing historic maps to see your house and neighborhood changes, how to submit your home for a Preservation Award, and more. "If your house could speak, what tales would it tell?" the invitation asks. "Of heroes and villains, taciturn sea captains, or shocking drama? Or of joyous family events, and personal moments of previous occupants. "Find out how to research the history of your Swampscott home!" The one-hour seminar will begin at 6 p.m. and can be accessed here.
