Finding Ancestors with Old Maps: Where to find them, how to use them, and why old maps can be fun

Presented by genealogist Sara Campbell. Free and open to the public.

Come and learn about the early maps of our region. Have you ever wondered how the first maps were made? Some maps were required by statute to be drawn. Some were made for commercial purposes. Some maps can show us the location of an ancestor’s farm, or the size of her chicken coop. Sara Campbell combines her background in civil engineering with her love of family history to present a comprehensive overview of Massachusetts map research.
