Looking to learn more Montana history this summer? Consider watching our lecture series, "Montana History in 9 Easy Lessons" and "Montana History in 9 More Easy Lessons." Both seasons start with the earliest history we know about through archaeological evidence (about 13,000 years ago.) Both seasons hopscotch through major topics (the fur trade, mining, ranching, homesteading, the treaty period, boarding school era, the Great Depression, the Relocation and Termination era, the Cold War) to modern times.
We have two lectures left in "9 More Easy Lessons," which you can watch on our live-stream (or in person if you are in Helena), 3:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m.
- Transportation historian Jon Axline will present On the Road Again, which will look how cars and trucks in transformed Montana after World War II, on May 22.
- Professor Emeritus Harry Fritz will explore "Montana's Triple Revolution," the formative period between 1960 to 1975, on May 29.
You can catch all past episodes--including these after they air--on our YouTube channel (and lots of other great presentations as well). For the 9 Easy Lessons series, we've arranged for you to receive an OPI Renewal Unit for each lecture by taking a simple quiz (really writing a short reflection) after watching.
Happy learning!
P.S. We are providing a free in-person PD as well, June 24 in Helena. Learn more here.P.P.S. Don't forget to take our short end-of-the-year survey and help us improve. Need added incentive? I'm adding a prize for the 57 respondent.
