The “Historic House Blog” highlights issues relating to owning antique/historic homes, but also focuses on the marketing of these properties for sale. A source for both old house owners and real estate agents, the Historic House Blog provides daily information, always eclectic & interesting, about what makes old houses so fun to own.

Michael has an M.A. in American History from the University of Connecticut; he has worked at many historical museums (including The Mark Twain House and Old Sturbridge Village); and he has worked as a Realtor for many years in Connecticut & Ohio, specializing in marketing historic properties for sale.
A contributing blogger is David Byers. David earned a Masters degree from the University of Connecticut and has worked for several years as an historical guide for the National Parks Service, including positions at Boston National Historical Park, Redwood National Park, & Lowell National Historical Park. David was also selected for the Perkins Fellowship at Old York Historical Society in Maine, where he participated in the intensive historical research of the Ramsdell House, which was recently restored & opened to the public in York, Maine.

re: the Lampkin House in Plainfield, NJ
Many thanks for your helpful comment and suggestions to the Courier New article online.
In the off-chance Bill and Edgar did not see the online version of the story (and your comment), I am pointing them toward your website.
All the best for the New Year!

I would love to let your readers know about an incredible restored antique in Weston, CT. Let me know how to upload the information and pictures. It really is a truly magnificent property.

Hi Kathleen,
Do you have a write up about the property? I found the photos on your website, but there are no “remarks” or history to work with there.
Thanks!
Michael

Great Blog! I was researching sources of information on antique log homes for a friend of mine who I built a website for. His name is Clifford Wagner and I just finished building wagnerloghomes.com
I would appreciate a link to our site from yours, or any help in marketing his site. I have already added a link to your blog on our links page.
Thanks!
