Taking a "Big History" Perspective
Are you interested in the natural forces and human activities that have shaped our unique region? Would you like to know more about how Indigenous people lived on this land for thousands of years before European settlers arrived? Do you wonder how a landscape of towering forests and teeming wildlife was transformed into a domesticated countryside of farms, towns, and suburbs? Are you concerned about what's in store for our land as we look to the future? If so, this course is for you.

In four two-hour sessions, the course will take you on a fast-paced tour through the geological, archaeological, and historical past to reach a deeper appreciation of the land we live on and the people who have left their marks on it. Participants will be invited to share their own stories, insights, and local knowledge. Each session will be led by HFC board member Dr. Ed Wilson, who will be accompanied by regional experts with specialized knowledge about topics of interest.

Participants can register for individual sessions or sign up for the full course at a discounted cost.

The classes will be held on October 27, November 10, November 24, and December 8 from 6 pm to 8 pm. All sessions will take place at the Susquehanna National Heritage Area's Columbia Crossing River Trails Center (41 Walnut Street, Columbia,PA 17512).
