Tar Heel Jr. Historian Club

CALLING ALL MIDDLE SCHOOLERS WHO LOVE CIVIL WAR HISTORY

The Rowan Museum is pleased to announce the formation of a Rowan chapter of the North Carolina Museum of History’s prestigious TAR HEEL JUNIOR HISTORIAN CLUB.

Since 1953, the Tar Heel Junior Historian Association (THJHA) has been encouraging the study of local and state history by North Carolina's young people. Membership in the association is FREE! Our theme this year is the Civil War. Snacks will be provided.

Tar Heel Junior Historians make significant contributions to their communities, and in doing so, they learn about themselves. Many of North Carolina's junior historians have received national recognition for their outstanding achievements.

The Museum’s chapter of Tar Heel Junior Historians is open to students in MIDDLE SCHOOL, and they may remain in the association throughout high school.

The next meeting will be held on SATURDAY, at 11:00 am at the Rowan Museum on 202 North Main Street, Salisbury. Museum Education Coordinator, Tricia Denton Creel and Museum Education Chair, Terry Holt will direct the program.

The Club will ensure that participants learn in an active and fun filled environment about the past and present here in Rowan County and the state, and will meet monthly at the Museum.

For more information or to pre-register for the club,
