Why History?
In the spirit of our Mission Statement we look to the lessons of history to learn solutions to modern day issues. There is no need to reinvent the wheel when our Founders and ancestors have found solutions to many similar problems. We simply need to study, listen, and apply those lessons.
​
What events occurred that finally lead to the American Revolution?
Why did some authors of the Constitution refuse to sign it?
What grievances listed in the Declaration of Independence are addressed in the Bill of Rights?
What part did religious leaders play in the Revolution effort?
What incident lead Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott to organize the women's suffrage movement?
Where is the origin of our National Motto?
Why and what are the meanings of the symbols of our National Seal?
​
So many questions. And the answers are there...if you look.
Who did what, where did it happen, when did it happen, and WHY?
​
History is so much more than simple names, dates, and places. There are reasons events happened when they did and where they did. You simply have to look.
​
Join us in exploring these stories of history. We will be adding new ones over time.
