Every House Has A Story—some are long, some are short, some are happy, some are not so happy. Every story tells us a lot about the people who made and make Fall River the great community that it is today.
Maybe your house was used on the Underground Railroad or someone famous once lived there—after all there were lots of famous folks from Fall River! Even the most ordinary house has a great story to tell.
How do you find these stories? How do you tell the story of your house? It involves a pinch of patience, a tablespoon of time, and a dose of detective work. If you like digging in the past to find the present, if you enjoy trying to figure out the history of something, if you appreciate the stories your parents and grand parents and great great grandparents tell about the good old days, then finding your house’s history is for you!
Stop, read, and enjoy—and remember to listen to your house. It is trying to tell you its story!
