PROGRAM

 

Michael introduced Cat Purcell as today’s speaker. Cat is a career librarian and researcher at the Champaign Public Library. Cat’s presentation this morning dealt a service she has organized and runs called Meet Your Old House.

 

For individuals or organizations, she will put together a package of detailed information on your home about its history and past owners’ ancestry and other points of interest. “Meet your Old House” started as a library program and now has grown into a business.

 

After a free consultation with Cat, she will outline the different levels of research packages they can provide.  The three levels are the Basic History package, the Premium Home History package and the Exclusive Time Capsule package.

 

Check out the website meetyouroldhouse.com. for further information about each package and its cost.
