Join us at an upcoming HAHS event! We are delighted to host programs that range from panel discussions and symposia to special exhibitions and site visits. HAHS often partners with our member sites—as well as aligned museums and arts or preservation organizations—to present these unique experiences. Whenever possible, we record these happenings for future enjoyment, including presentations that occur at our exclusive membership convenings.
