Saving the Hansen House

Friday, March 2, 2012
Greensboro Historical Museum

This is the story of a mild-mannered college professor from the Midwest who buys a dilapidated 18th-century farmhouse in a small North Carolina town. Originally he plans to just restore it and then maybe sell it and move on. But the house turns out to be something special, and the town is even more special. Before he knows it, he is putting down roots.

This one-hour documentary chronicles the unique challenges and rewards of saving a 250-year-old house. http://hansenhousefilm.com
