  • More about the History Club

    The History club is run by students, for students, who love history. They seek to engage students in historical education and promote professional growth. They organize activities for the members, including films, bonfires with s'mores, field trips, game nights, and guest speakers. 

  • Trips

    The History club runs several trips per year. Past trips have included: Philadelphia, Gettysburg, Washington, D.C., the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, Eastern State Penitentiary, and New York City. Going to sites where significant events in history actually took place helps to bring it alive and foster better understanding.
