My parents live in an old house at 555 Murdock Ave. The house was built in the early 1800's and I would like to find out a little bit of its history and the previous owners. Any ideas on where to look?

I found a wooden box in an antique store in Allen, Michigan with the original sticker of J.T. Clements Jeweler and diamond Merchant - address of 20 W. Main St., Meriden Conn. I am just wondering if anyone can help in trying to guess its age?
