            LINCOLN 
	- Have you ever wondered who built your home? How many families have lived 
	there and their names? Did anything significant or exciting happen at your 
	home? |  
            | Wouldn’t it be great if you could attend a free 
			workshop to learn how to research your home’s history? The Lincoln 
			Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) is planning exactly that. 
 On Saturday, September 27, 2014 at 10 a.m., the Lincoln Public 
			Library will host a workshop event that will feature speakers 
			Richard Sumerall of the Library, and Diane Osbourne of the Logan 
			County Genealogical and Historical Society. They will be presenting 
			information to walk you through the research process. Information 
			such as where to find historical documents, how to read abstracts, 
			what information the library has to offer, etc.
 
 If you are interested in attending the workshop, please contact 
			April Doolin with the Historic Preservation Commission at
			
			llhpc@cityoflincoln-il.gov  or call the city zoning 
			office's number (217) 732-6318.
