Homeowners Can Research Properties’ History at SD Museum

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A southeast South Dakota museum is offering homeowners the chance to research their properties' history.

The Old Courthouse Museum in Sioux Falls wants to help homeowners find out the year their homes were built, who built them and any changes they have undergone throughout the years.

The museum has scheduled an event for Aug. 13 in which staff members from its collections department will be guiding homeowners in a hands-on program.

The museum says photos and documents from many area homes will be available to the public during the event.

The man's name will be released after family members are notified.
