Property Research Class

August 22 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
$25

Ever wondered who built your home—or what stood there 100 years ago?

Join WHC staff for a hands‑on research class designed to help you research the history of your property in Marion County and the greater Salem area. Through real-life case studies, WHC staff will guide you through three essential research skills:

  • DIY deed searches to trace ownership over time

  • Finding your home in historic photographs, including aerial and panoramic images

  • A “speed dating” session with some of the most useful research resources available in WHC’s collections

Whether you’re curious about who lived in your home before you, when it was built, or how your neighborhood has changed, this class will give you practical tools and confidence to continue your own research.

Saturday, August 22, 2026
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Willamette Heritage Center (Education Space)
$25 per person

Space is limited—reserve your spot and start uncovering the history hiding in plain sight.
