• Walking Tours at various times during the year with an emphasis on May as Historic Preservation Month.
• House Tours to selected neighborhoods.
• Historic Plaque Program: Owners of homes 50 years and older can apply for an historic “whale plaque.”
• Researchers review files in the Clerk’s office to confirm the date of construction and list all owners.
