"I Froze My Feet:" The Impact of Weather and Water on the War of Independence - HB In-Person
From the fog at Brooklyn Heights that covered the escape of General Washington's army to the brutal snow storm that nearly buried the Americans as they attacked Montreal, the weather was frequently a critical and even deciding factor during the American Revolution, as it often is in war.

The South in the World Wars - HB In-Person
REGISTRATION FOR THIS CLASS IS CLOSED. This class is already in session.
America's role in World War I and II not only transformed the nation, but also changed the South as a whole. Due to the need for soldiers and training camps, southern men and women supported the war effort en masse as it brought new economic opportunities, benefits and business to their homes. In this five-week course, we will cover how the South and its people revolutionized the American war - and home fronts - in the First and Second World Wars. Fee: $30.00
