Historic Homes Project and Research Workshops

Phase two of the Historic House Plaque project is underway with our full complement of 23 new homes and Rose Hill Presbyterian Church participating. When completed, the neighborhood will have over 100 homes documented and displaying plaques.  

As part of this project and in coordination with the Wales Garden neighborhood, the Richland County Library (and Debbie Bloom) will be conducting three workshops on "researching your home".  The last workshop will be held on Saturday Oct. 26 (3-5pm).

These workshops are open to residents of Hollywood-Rose Hill and Wales Garden. Preference will be given to participants in the project should the workshops fill.
