History   

The countries and cities of Europe that draw us to explore them emerged from the great "ages" in European history. Starting with the Greek and Roman Empires, and ending with the modernism of the present day, we'll include The Middle Ages, Renaissance, The Ages of Exploration, Absolute Monarchy, Enlightenment, and Revolution – all while learning the backstories that bring travel to life.

This course will be based on the biography Madame Fourcade's Secret War. We will read the book over a five-week period, discuss the book, and look at the background events that influence Maire-Madeleine Fourcade and her resistance group. Please Note: This course has required supplies.

Come learn the story of how Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt became one of the most talked about and controversial presidential couples of the last century - from the earliest days up until the White House years and afterwards. This will be a class that will cover their lives in more detail that any traditional history class.
