Film Viewing: "House of Threads", 18+YRS

Next Viewing at Ruch Branch Library August 1st, 1 pm.
7919 Hwy 238, Ruch, Or

When Heather Paladini moved into an Applegate Valley farmhouse built more than 120 years ago, she had no idea a network of connections and tragedies lay beneath the surface. But after the discovery of some old letters in her kitchen, she dove down a rabbit hole of research to uncover them.

"House of Threads," an original documentary short produced by Jackson County Library Services, tells the story of her property and search for answers. If houses are historic artifacts, Heather's is a whole museum.
