Event Description
Did you know that you can learn a lot about your ancestors by researching their homes? Dr Robyn Floyd turned her research into a book Heil House: The House That Peter Built.
It started quite by accident, in a Shire document that listed heritage buildings in the Bendigo area, when Robyn found a reference to the family home built in 1870 by her great, great grandfather Peter Heil. The house, built with bricks Peter excavated from the clay on his own land, was still occupied; the brickwork laid over 150 years ago remaining in good condition
Can’t attend in person? No problem. The talk with be simulcast over Zoom.
