The items that you will find here are intended to make learning fun. When we started teaching our kids about history, we discovered that history did not have to be dry, static and boring as we were taught in public school.

By using unit studies and personalizing past events, we can learn how our ancestors lived and better understand who we are. This practice of tying genealogy to history, or attempting to study the past through personal experiences is called "historical reenacting" or "experimental archeology". Watch out. It can turn into a hobby! We are in the beginning stages of publishing our various unit studies. Watch this page for regular updates.
