Presentation By Award Winning DIY Writer and Preservationist Ron Tanner

The Fairbanks House, Neighbor

The Fairbanks House and the Dedham Historical Society and Museum are pleased to present a special program by award-winning writer and preservationist Ron Tanner who will offer a comic monologue about his funny, heart-warming book, From Animal House to Our House: A Love Story. The program is free and open to the public.

Combining romance with history and humor, Tanner tells the true story of how he and his wife bought condemned property - a wrecked frat house - and restored it to its original Victorian splendor. They knew nothing about fixing up houses when they started.

Tanner is an award-winning author and teaches writing at Loyola University in Maryland. He also directs both the Marshall Islands Story Project and the Preservation America Project.
