All about Houses With History season 2 ahead of its season premiere

Set to return to HGTV for the second time is Houses With History with Mike Lemieux, Rich Soares, and Jen Macdonald. The three will team up to save and revamp centuries-old properties around Massachusetts for new and modern families to live in.

Loren Ruch, HGTV's Group Senior Vice President of Programming & Development, said about the show:

"Houses With History is one of the series where we flipped the idea of what makes a good renovation story on its head and led with the backstory of the house, rather than the homeowner."

He added that the show is being renewed because Jen, Mike, and Rich are "fantastic" and "humourous" storytellers, and it's always fascinating when unexpected twists are revealed during renovations of the nation's oldest homes.

Jen Macdonald took to social media to share her excitement about the upcoming season and gave a sneak peek of what's to come. In an Instagram post, she said that in the season premiere of Houses With History season 2, the HGTV team would go to Fairhaven to restore one of Henry Huttlesron Roger's estates from circa 1900.

She added:

"This one is a favorite of mine and the town is so amazing too."

In another post, Macdonald opened up about another property and stated that it was 330 years old and needed some "serious work." She also informed viewers that while the episode will air at 10:00 pm, the team will go live at 8:00 pm ET on Facebook.

The press release states that the first episode was originally a potting shed with a vibrant history and that the owner was a close associate of John D. Rockefeller, an original oil tycoon.

It continues:

"The new owners love the home's charming character including unique windows and original hand-carved woodwork, but they will task Mike, Rich and Jen to incorporate modern functionality and design in the kitchen, living spaces and main suite in order to make it their own."
