National History Day in Ohio is an exciting co-curricular program for students in grades 4-5 and 6-12. Each year, students conduct research based on the annual theme and create historical papers, original performances, media documentaries, creative exhibits and imaginative websites as a result of their research. More than just one day, History Day is a program that allows students to do independent research and create a project that has a life outside the program. Students choose a topic related to the annual theme and can create a paper, exhibit, documentary, performance or website.
For this week's post we'd like to share with you one local student's project. Ruolin Yang chose to do her History Day project on transportation, featuring America's canals and locks. She met with Andy Hite, site manager of the Johnston Farm and Indian Agency, and toured some of Miami County's remaining canal sites in preparation for creating her imaginative website. We'd like to thank Ruolin and her family for sharing the site with us - and now with you.

Please add a comment and let us know what you think and we will pass it along to Ruolin.
