Who is Haunting your House?

Spokane House History Resources

Ever wondered about the stories your walls could tell? Spokane Public Library's Archivist will help you research your house's history. Once you find out who lived there, you decide who's the ghost!

Spokane Public Library’s Archivist and Special Collections Librarian, the Archivist at the Joel E. Ferris Research Archives at the Museum of Art and Culture, and Spokane’s Historic Preservation Officer will guide you through the steps of researching your house’s history.

In this workshop you will learn about house history resources available both digitally and in person at libraries and archives in the Spokane area. From building permits, to city directories, to maps and more, you will walk away with the knowledge you need to start researching the history of your own house!
