If the past has been an obstacle and a burden, knowledge of the past is the safest and the surest emancipation.

History Anew chooses to research and represent (more on Representation here) particular cultures and time periods from the past for four very specific reasons:
- We believe that our present experiences, in all aspects of our lives, can be better understood and therefore more thoroughly experienced/enjoyed when we have knowledge of what preceded us.
- We believe that a multitude of ingenious ideas have been cast aside in society's haste to keep up with modernity. As such, rather than "re-inventing the wheel", so to speak, we would like to create more opportunity in our lives, for our pursuits, by utilizing the time and effort that past people have already expended.
- We believe that the environment, and our collective ability to utilize it in a sustainable and respectful manner, is humanity's greatest resource.
- We believe that for the reasons stated above and for the young children discussed below, the wisdom of the past needs to be preserved. This is the premise behind History Anew - to inspire and facilitate the preservation of the wisdom of the past.
- We have young children, a limited income, and don't travel as much as we think we should. Hence, representing the past allows us to escape on a budget. ;-)
Our Vision:
History Anew captivates audiences of all ages by truly bringing history to life. We create dynamic and engaging interpretive programs through conscientious research and fully accessible, historically crafted, replica, artifacts. Embedded within all we do is a deep respect for the knowledge, skill, and environmentally sustainable-methods of the past. We strive to be a "museum" without the glass.
