Prince William County Historic Preservation Division will sponsor a free May 16 talk at 7 p.m. by historian Dr. Dennis Pogue on the tools and methods that historians and architects use to look at historic houses to determine their age, use and their evolution over time.
Dr. Pogue will use his vast experience in working with private and public homes across the country to explain how looking at the history of home can unlock stories of the people who once called it home. Investigating the history of a home gives us a window to the lives and social customs of our ancestors.
The lecture will take place at the Ferlazzo Government Building, 15941 Cardinal Dr., Woodbridge, VA 22101 For more information, call 703-792-4754.
