Have you recently purchased a home and want to learn more about its past? Are you curious about the story behind the house you’ve lived in for years? Or are you simply interested in learning how to research houses and other buildings?

The Missouri Valley Special Collections staff is here to help. Join us for a comprehensive course on the art of house history research. We'll walk you through the resources available in the Missouri Valley Room and introduce digital tools you can access from home. While the course focuses on researching properties in Kansas City south of the river, the methods and tools we cover can be applied to properties anywhere.
