Where would I look to find the history of a piece of property, home and/or land?
Question by Sega’s Mom: Where would I look to find the history of a piece of property, home and/or land?
We just purchased a piece of property and would like to find out if there is any “history” behind the house and/or land. The home is a beautiful victorian 2-story house in an older part of town. Just wondering

Even for the MEGA MOVERS, some jobs are out of the ordinary. How about transporting a family business without emptying the interior–so the doors can re-open as soon as possible after the building is resettled? That’s just what happened with a Pennsylvania funeral home! Next, Maryland movers confront a 146-year-old Victorian house that is thought to be jinxed. For years, many have tried to move it, and all have failed after facing major issues with utility lines, clearances, property, and accessible routes. MEGA MOVERS proves that no matter how strange or eerie or haunted they will get the job done. Copyright The History Channel.

Winchester Explored: Secrets of the Mansion
In 1884, Sarah Winchester moved out west and purchased an eight-room farmhouse in San Jose, California. And for 38 years, 24 hours a day, craftsmen, artisans and woodworkers were kept busy building (and rebuilding) the most mysterious mansion ever created. Just why did one of the wealthiest women in the United States spend so much time and over five and a half million dollars on her home? Watch this amazing video! You’ll be intrigued by the incredible details of Sarah’s architectural fantasy, and learn the secrets of this “beautiful but bizarre” 160 room Victorian Mansion. Not only will you see the exquisite master craftsmanship and the beautiful original Tiffany art glass windows, but also the stairways vanishing in mid-flight, doors that swing open to expose… nothing and stair steps each a mere two inches tall!
