Uncovering Timeless Stories

My name is Antone, but I go by Tony. I’ve always loved history. And old places and things have always featured prominently in my life. It had something to do with growing up in the same town as four previous generations of my family - every street seemed to have a family story attached to it and every item in our house once belonged to some not-quite forgotten ancestor. I felt grounded in a way I didn’t recognize until I moved away. 

 

I’ve spent my career advocating for preserving places and things that matter to diverse communities so that others can experience the same sense of place I felt growing up - the same innate sense of context and belonging that countless studies have shown provide for a healthy and happy life. 

​

This blog and website not only aim to connect readers to the stories behind the artifacts and places I've found meaningful but also seek to cultivate a community around shared passions for the past.  I hope to spark curiosity and appreciation for history’s treasures. Join me on this journey as I uncover the meaning behind old things.
