Have you ever wondered about the history of your house? Do your have an ancestor who owned property in Saint Paul? Or, have your ever started a renovation and found something unexpected?

Of interest to not only homeowners, but architectural historians, and genealogists, this presentation will set you on the path for further discoveries.

You may bring a bag lunch. Anita’s Café is also available in the main level of Landmark Center for lunch.
