The History Society

We are a Campus Organization striving to cultivate the passion for history among all students, whether they are a History Major or not. Anyone is welcome. We are getting more involved with community projects and will soon be working with the Wood County Historical Museum. We will be taking part in various fundraisers and are striving to plan more field trips, events, and speakers for the future.
