I think I've said before that our house was built in 1886. In the 1930's they put an addition on. The only reason we know about the addition is because when we were putting a new front door in we had to open the walls up. You know what they used to insulate wall with back them...newspaper. We have a newspaper from March of 1933! We have had it just lying around and we finally figured out something to do with it.

Check out that date- March 13, 1933

Probably my favorite part. The president at this time-Roosevelt! Here they are talking about banks and how people should invest in them. This was only a few years after the Great Depression.

I am a history nerd and was totally excited about this finding. It makes me wonder what other goodies we may find while we are in this house!
