Hidden House History helps to unlock the real stories within visitors' homes. The website shows how to unearth documents, find architectural evidence and follow the clues to reveal the secrets of your home. Discover tales about people who lived there, uncover lost or forgotten features, find out where your home fits into the history of the local community or what was there before it was built. Every home has a story to tell; sadly most of them will remain lost if we don't hunt for them. To help you get started we've put together this website with all the information you'll need.
