LOCAL HISTORY HUB LINCOLNSHIRE
Teacher-led, grassroots, and rooted in belonging.
Exciting news - a Local History Hub for Lincolnshire is on the way!
Supported by Heritage Lincolnshire and Lincolnshire County Council, this new hub will bring together schools, heritage organisations, community groups and local partners to explore and celebrate the county’s rich and varied past.
We’re now building the team that will lead this important work across Lincolnshire. The hub will act as a bridge between education and heritage, helping schools connect with local stories and inspiring children to take pride in their area’s history.
We’re particularly keen to hear from teachers, heritage professionals, and community partners who would like to be involved in shaping this collaborative project from the very beginning.
