About Us

In Search of History believes an object must be found before it becomes history. Only then can it tell its story. This is what inspired me for many years. We never know what Mother Earth has hidden and we relish the thrill of finding it.

An old friend of mine, Burt Webber, once told me, “It’s not about the money, it’s about the thrill of the chase”. Our goal to share stories of uncovering history, both personally and from other like-minded folks, like you.

If you have an interesting first-person story, send it our way and we’ll post it and promote it on all of our social media for others to find and enjoy.

Happy Hunting!

In Search of History offers online resources for history enthusiasts. This site is intended to be a place to share videos, pictures, articles, and resource information. If you want to share your historical discovery videos, pictures, or articles, we welcome your submissions. Our intention with this site is to share information about colonial through Civil War period artifact and relic collecting, Ohio Valley early settler history, and fossil and rock finds.

We are dedicated to helping those interested in joining the growing number of young and old people wanting to recover and explore our past. We are located at Trader’s World, Building 1A, 601 Union Road Lebanon, Ohio 45036. We are open Saturdays and Sundays 9 a.m. to 5p.m.. We would love to talk to you about your historical discoveries and share ours with you!
