Remember that the site is arranged PRIMARILY around the Eighty Township Pages, and they all link from the sidebar at the right of the page. Subject areas link both from the sidebar at the left and from the icons below. My mail tells me that many long time site guests are very unaware of many of its special features. Open every window so you don't miss any.

National History Day is a competition for students in grades 6-12 to explore local, state, national, or world history through a research project that relates to the annual theme. This year’s theme is “Triumph and Tragedy in History.” Students will compete at the Chemung Valley History Museum in the regional competition. Winners of the regional competition have the opportunity to move on to the state competition, and possibly the national competition.

Students will be competing in the exhibit, documentary, and paper categories and will be traveling from as far as
Chautauqua County!

This competition will be open for public view.

For more information about the contest, please call Rebecca Smith, or refer to:
