Local history doesn’t have to sit inside one history lesson. 📍

A map. A building. A family story. A walk. A conversation about how a place has changed.

Help children connect what they learn with the world around them this #LocalHistoryDay.

Sometimes the best local history starts with a simple question.

What was here before our school? Why does this street have that name? How has our community changed?

Get curious about the history on your doorstep this #LocalHistoryDay.
