History...

What is history? I remember the day in Grade 3 when I clicked that History sounded and was spelled a lot like His-story. I know most of you probably made this connection way earlier, but I take a few more clicks than the rest of us so please forgive me. Anyways the more and more I work at the museum the more clicking that happens. History isn't some giant event we're all prepared for. I don't think anyone wakes up aware that that day, they are going to be involved in some life changing event. What we consider history is just when someone is living their lives, in their day, and someone was smart enough to take note of it and learn from it.  (July 17, 2012 blog)
