It is a historic anniversary – the 250th commemoration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence – so why not try your hand at some history yourself?

Historians employ a variety of skills to document the past. You can do the same! Join us for a series of workshops designed to teach you the skills of being a historian. Whether you document your family history, your community history, or want to learn more about understanding the state’s history, these workshops will prepare you with the basics to DO HISTORY.  
Each workshop will feature a mix of presentation and hands-on activities.
