    The History List Aug 2011 - Present
    Marlborough, Massachusetts, Us
    "The History List is quickly becoming a pioneer on the web for historical institutions. Everything we are looking to share with the public is at our finger tips, easy to use, and well thought out." -- Jodie McMenamin, Development Officer at the USS Constitution Museum.The History List is used today by history-related institutions and sites to raise awareness and attract new visitors and members. Unlike other event lists, The History List is dedicated to history and is national in scope. And unlike other lists of history museums and historic sites, The History List tells families and individuals not just where to go, but why and when to go. Insider guides to popular historic sites help history lovers make the most out of their visits. And our roadtrips to historic sites help people plan their getaways.Why did we create The History List? Because we believe that when people come face to face with history they gain a much greater interest in and understanding of our history. And that benefits us all.
