Hello there!
I grew up in Venango County and have since moved to Australia. I was discussing the possibility of being able to buy my grandmother’s property if it ever comes up for sale again. (It was sold to strangers when she passed some years back). I would like to know if it is possible to acquire the records of the land, house, values, etc.
The address is 708 McCleery Road, Franklin, PA 16323
If so, I am not sure how I would go about that. Any direction would be helpful.
Thank you!
Steph Bell
