Join us August 26, 2025, 6-7:45 pm at the Friends Room of the Columbia Public Library to hear from Carla Cornette about her research into her historic home on West Ash Street. If you have ever wondered how to research the history of your own home, you can learn from the research she did to nominate her c. 1928 home for Columbia’s Most Notable Property Program. Cornette’s presentation will be followed by a hands-on exploration of research tools attendees can use to research their own homes. This event will have an ASL interpreter provided.

Carla Cornette is an Associate Teaching Professor of Italian at Mizzou where she teaches the intensive elementary language sequence, Post-Intermediate Italian, as well as two new courses she created: "Black Italy: the Politics and History of Race in Contemporary Italy," and "Sicily: Crossroads in the Mediterranean." 

Thank you to our event co-sponsor, Daniel Boone Regional Library.
