Starting a History Club at Your School:

Have you ever wanted to give your history-loving students a way to
continue their exploration of the subject outside the classroom? If so, perhaps
you will consider forming a history club chapter at your school this year and
joining the National History Club (NHC). Created in March 2002, the NHC was formed to help history clubs from around the country communicate and share
ideas and activities with each other through our biannual Newsletter and other
programs. There are now chapters in 42 states and over 7,000 students involved.

Clubs are given the flexibility to choose the activities that their
members want to participate in, and this has allowed for a wide range of projects.
Some of the activities include: interviewing World War II veterans, visiting Abraham
Lincoln's home and neighborhood, a lecture on the Civil Rights Movement,
traveling to Washington D.C., and holding a Ben Franklin look-a-like contest.
