Know Where You Live - Historian Talk

Join us at Bankfoot House as our two Sunshine Coast Historians in Residence reveal their research findings at free history seminars.

Uncover the fascinating biographies of the personalities of Bankfoot House residents with Dr Ken Greenwood as he delves into their individual lives. In an interesting twist, Dr Greenwood writes a biography taken from the perspective of the house itself using the house as a narrator.

Hear about the evolution of Sunshine Coast cemeteries as Dr Lisa Murray shares her insight into common themes and unique qualities. As part of her research, Dr Murray explored monument styles and symbolism, and will reveal her findings on regional stonemasons.

Both historians will speak at Nambour Heritage Library (23 May) and Bankfoot House (24 May). Talks include free morning tea. Bookings essential.
