Who said History was boring? ….

While to some history may be perceived as not very exciting, but to Fort Henry and its staff, it is! Fort Henry’s fresh outlook, as Mr. Will Baird, Manager of Fort Henry tells me, will portray the “Real Picture”, not fiction, the real thing, the real life!

Will tells me... History, as it is being taught in our educational systems today, he feels that it is being taught in a form of disservice.  How students and citizens had to learn history in the past was based on “facts”, memorizing them without putting into context. Will states, it’s not a judgment on school curriculum, but he feels if more teachers were passionate in “painting the history picture rather than just facts, history might not be so boring”. Today Fort Henry has the opportunity to bridge the gap and help create a new passion for our youth and citizens of our society today.
