LOCAL HISTORY
• Above all, studying local history can fill you with the knowledge that history is
all around you. You don’t need to visit Rome, Giza, or Machu Picchu to see
reflections of the past because your own community contains many sites and
records with a rich history. Learning about local history can help you realize
the grand scheme of historical change is made up of countless individuals like
you and those around you who in their own ways contributed to the ongoing
story of your community. And this story likely contains fascinating
information that is worth finding and preserving.
