Introducing Mr. History

Mr. History is the wacky tour guide who leads students back through time with his magical History Trunk. Inside are pieces of the “real” clothes and “actual” artifacts worn and used by people in the past. Put on Harriet Tubman’s scarf and you become the “Moses” of the Underground Railroad. Pick up James Madison’s quill pen and you become the Father of the Constitution. “Have Imagination Will Travel” is Mr. History’s calling card, an invitation to explore the past by actually being there!

Mr. History Musical Prototype — What it Looks Like

Each Mr. History Musical begins with five students complaining about a school history assignment. Frustrated, they begin chanting “I hate history! I hate history!” Hearing his least favorite words, Mr. History whirls into their midst and convinces them, in song, to become historical personages—see what they saw and feel what they felt—then decide if they still hate history. When the students time travel back to the present, they have not only realized how much fun history can be, they have also learned some of the important values and ideals that are the foundation of our country.
