If you live in a historic house or just love historic architecture, you'll enjoy hearing from this episode's guest, Dennis Northcott. Northcott is an archivist at the Missouri Historical Society Library and Research Center, specializing in genealogy and house history. Through a variety of digitized resources, he passionately assists researchers in their quest to uncover the stories hidden in their home, as well as the fascinating details that bring to life its past residents, making house history research more accessible and intriguing than ever before. The Missouri Historical Society's Library and Research Center is open to the public, and no membership is required. Staff members are available to assist you with your research and help answer your questions, no matter how farfetched they may seem. Listen and follow House of Lou on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or most places podcasts are available.
