WELCOME!

Those who do not study the past are condemned to repeat it

George Santayana, The Life of Reason

Welcome to History Repeats Itself, the official blog of Victorian Vanities.  Our goal is to make history come alive for the average reader.  History is everywhere around us; it defines and shapes everything we do as a country, as a region, and as a city.  How we interpret that history, what we choose to remember, and how we teach our children, will shape the future for years to come.

Preparing for the Future by Learning About the Past

Hello, and welcome to History Repeats Itself.  My name is Rochelle Christopher and since I am the Executive Director of Victorian Vanities, this is my blog.  I suppose you’re wondering why this blog is different from other history blogs?  The answer is that we try to put a unique spin on present and past events by connecting them with what is going on in our region today.  We look at  events directly connected to the future of education in our schools, and how people learn from past events.  We try to look at unique events and determine what they mean.  We provide lifelong learning through interactive programs rather than through lectures alone.  From time to time, we will be making special offers that are only available to our blog readers.
