OHP Radio - Fort Donelson

This week we explore a little Civil War History and we are pleased to have a guest host on this episode. John Walsh of Fort Donelson Relics joins us as we talk to Ranger and Historian Jim Jobe at the Fort Donelson National Battlefield Park. It was great because you have 2 people that field questions all the time about the area, movements, people like Jack Henson and the campaign.

The end of the year is approaching and tax time will soon be here. Don't forget us as you are picking your Charities this year. Every cent you give to Our History Project goes back into the shows and project we are involved in.

Speaking of which, we are pleased to announce that we will be starting the next phase in Our History Project in earnest. We have been meeting with teachers at Eastlake Elementary School in McDonough, GA to start a curriculum based program that will enhance the State and National Standards. This development when completed will be available to all the schools nationwide. We will be developing not only resources that will be availed in the classroom but hands on activities as well.

We will be sponsoring a story time once a week starting in January and as we move forward we will need volunteers nationwide as we expand this project. So if you are a part of an historic organization consider signing up your group to spread the word and the stories of our America.

In closing don't forget or Monday Night shows at 10 pm eastern. More updates on Or History Project will be revealed as they happen. That show will remain a weekly broadcast. The Saturday and Wednesday show will be alternating on a two week basis so there will be 1 show each week.
