ALL HALLOWS HISTORY CLUB

A GILDER LEHRMAN SCHOOL OF AMERICAN STUDIES

THE ALL HALLOWS HISTORY CLUB EXISTS TO ENCOURAGE THE LOVE AND STUDY OF AMERICAN HISTORY.

EACH YEAR STUDENTS GO ON LOCAL WALKING TOURS OF NYC. WE HAVE WALKED HARLEM, SPANISH HARLEM, LOWER EAST SIDE, IRISH N.Y., ELLIS ISLAND, CITY HALL, BROOKLYN BRIDGE. TRIPS HAVE BEEN MADE TO WEST POINT, ROOSEVELT ESTATE IN HYDE PARK AND THE VANDERBILT MANSION.

THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR IS AN OVER NIGHT TRIP TO GETTYSBURG, PA. THERE WE TOUR THE BATTLE FIELD AND SEE SO MANY SITES - DEVILS DEN, WHEAT FIELD, LITTLE ROUND TOP, CULP’S HILL, SEMINARY RIDGE, CEMETERY RIDGE AND THE ANGLE. WE WALK PICKETT’S CHARGE. THE STUDENTS ARE AMAZED AND HORRIFIED AS WE WALK AND TALK ABOUT THE CASUALTIES.

A SPECIAL THANKS TO THE GILDER LEHRMAN INSTITUTE

AND ESPECIALLY OUR ADVISOR THERE- ANTHONY NAPOLI.

THE INSTITUTE ENABLES US TO DO SO MUCH FOR OUR STUDENTS THAT WE NEVER COULD DO WITHOUT THEM.

THANKS GLI !!!!!
