Historic Tax Records Open House

About This Event

View West Bloomfield tax record books to learn more about local property history.

What to Expect

• 1.Arrive a bit before 1 pm to get your bearings; the open house runs 1–4 pm and the layout can be maze-like in a museum.
• 2.Ask the staff to pull indexes or parcel histories; the open-house format means you’ll bounce between sections rather than a single exhibit.
• 3.Bring a notebook or device to jot parcel IDs, dates, and owners as you skim through the record books.
• 4.Keep your voice down and check the museum’s photography policy before snapping pics—this is a quiet, research-friendly space.
• 5.If you’re new to reading historic tax records, start with a recent parcel and trace back to older owners for context.
