Sourcing Local History Topics: How to Find Historical Tales
Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm
1005 Van Hoosen Road, Rochester Hills, MI 48306
Organized by
Rochester-Avon Historical Society
On Thursday, Sept. 5 at 7 p.m., the Rochester-Avon Historical Society welcomes local author Gerald Van Dusen at the Rochester Hills Museum on Van Hoosen Farm. Sometimes you have to do field research that includes interviewing informants (see Van Dusen's books, Detroit's Birwood Wall, Sojourner Truth Housing Riots), but sometimes, the topics come to you (Detroit's Lost Stove Industry). Learn how Van Dusen has dug up some of Michigan’s more interesting historical tales.
