History   

• 200th Anniversary of the Erie Canal

• Imagine digging a 4 ft deep by 40 ft wide, 363-mile-long canal from Denton to Corpus Christi using only people with shovels. Seems almost impossible, but that's exactly what happened when the Erie Canal was completed from Buffalo to New York City in 1825. This class will use stories and pictures of why and how the Erie Canal was created and how it is still being used in 2026. Members will even sing "The Erie Canal" song that many learned in elementary school.

• Conquest, Crown, and Legacy: The World of William the Conqueror

• In 1066, William, Duke of Normandy, led the successful Norman invasion of England—an event that transformed the monarchy, the government, and the very fabric of English society. The conquest laid the foundations for a unified kingdom that has endured for nearly a thousand years. William was a man of striking contrasts: a disciplined and brilliant military strategist, a fierce and often ruthless warrior, and a determined administrator intent on shaping a lasting legacy. In a single lifetime, he changed the course of English history, and the mark of his rule can still be seen across the United Kingdom today.
