We are always open to hosting classes in other locations within the metroplex, whether that is multi-week sessions or one-time workshops. Finding venues that allow us to keep the cost to our families low can be a challenge, so one of the best ways to bring a Hands On History class to your area is to let us know about a church or other place that is open to hosting homeschool classes. 

Reach out to Rebecca with your locations and let's see what we can do to share the history love!
