Your local history has much to teach, but it must be heard. History Speaks! LLC can help you tell those stories through publications, tours, and programs, and can point you toward funding to get your projects underway. When we work with your organization, we bring years of experience in writing, editing, marketing, grant consultation, and history programming. We’ll provide the guidance you need to perfect one project or to develop a robust, multifaceted history program.
