So today's post is completely personal. I am launching the HUGE task of researching information on my grnadmother's childhood home. Her dad was a small-town doctor, and the house she grew up in was actually a makeshift hospital during the Civil War. I am trying to gather information and forms on getting the house on registered either on the state or national register. While government and nonprofit sites are very helpful and organized, it's a very daunting task. The information to sort through is overwhelming!! If anyone has any tips, please send them along!! I am really excited because I think this is what my grandmother would want, and I have always wanted to see this huge old house the way it looked 150 years ago. It is certainly an inspiration in my passion for historic preservation.
