WELCOME

"If one could make alive again for other people some cobwebbed skein of old dead intrigues and breathe breath and character into dead names and stiff portraits, that is history to me!" - George Macaulay Trevelyan

I love this quote, and I really do live by it. I am constantly trying to come up with visual ways to share information, especially when it comes to family history. My house is filled with treasures including old photos I've restored and designs I've come up with.

Over the years people have seen these projects and asked how they could create something similar, or if I would be willing to create it for them. Hence, History Haven “the business” was born. I hope you enjoy looking at a few of the projects I've chosen to share. In 2012 I started creating actual "products." Watch as this site quickly fills with many ideas and opportunities for you and I to create something totally cool together that your family will really love.

More than just a business, History Haven is a “cause” that is really important to me. I love making connections with people: both those living and those of history. I am really dedicated to my own family and want to help others create their own connections with people they can “relate” to. There isn't a better feeling in the world to know you are loved and accepted by someone simply because you share the same parents, in-laws, grandparents, or great grandparents.

Thanks for visiting,
