Presentations will take place on Saturday mornings and will usually last two hours. Seating may be limited, so reservations are suggested. Admission to the entire series is $45 for GHF members and $55 for non-members; Admission to individual classes is $10 for GHF members and $12 for non-members. All classes except the October 24 cemetery class will be held at the GHF Architectural Salvage Warehouse at the Sealy Garage, second floor, 908 23rd Street.

November 7: “Research Your Historic Property” at 9 a.m. on the second floor of the Architectural Salvage Warehouse. GHF’s Preservation Resource Center Coordinator Matt Farragher will lead this class on how to do the research that uncovers the stories behind a historic property. Participants will learn where to find documentation about what a building once looked like, events associated with the site, and past inhabitants and how they lived.
