Trips
The History club runs several trips per year. Past trips have included: Philadelphia, Gettysburg, Washington, D.C., the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, Eastern State Penitentiary, and New York City. Going to sites where significant events in history actually took place helps to bring it alive and foster better understanding.
