The weekly e-mail with history events in your state
Vote to start a weekly history events newsletter for your state or
region: www.TheHistoryList.com/subscribe
“I'm incredibly impressed. I do a ton of these events
calendars and I dread them because a. they are all different b.
they don't give enough flexibility (different hours on different
days for example) and c. I'm forever scrolling or hitting enter
or doing some other forbidden action that messes up my
entries or causing me to get red errors all over the place. You
even let me change font size, bold my text, etc . . . You've
created an easy to use, flexible, attractive site.”
Anne Grasberger
Volunteer
Goschenhoppen Historians Henry Antes Plantation and the
Goschenhoppen Historians Folk Festival

  • 18. “I'm incredibly impressed. I do a ton of these events calendars and I dread them because a. they are all different b. they don't give enough flexibility (different hours on different days for example) and c. I'm forever scrolling or hitting enter or doing some other forbidden action that messes up my entries or causing me to get red errors all over the place. You even let me change font size, bold my text, etc . . . You've created an easy to use, flexible, attractive site.” Anne Grasberger Volunteer Goschenhoppen Historians Henry Antes Plantation and the Goschenhoppen Historians Folk Festival What others are saying about The History List Using The History List to promote your history events
