Our Story...
The Living History Foundation (LHF) is a community-oriented organization based in Austin, TX. Our mission is to teach emerging young interpreters how to research and interpret the stories of people of color, women, persons with disabilities, and other marginalized groups. In doing so, prove our ancestors shared many of the same dreams and aspirations we all do today. Our programs include (TEKS) Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills standards, required learning for Texas students grade kindergarten to 12th. And to make what we do even more impactful, we try to incorporate (STEM) Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math topics in all our programs. Our programs are interactive, open-ended, and include activities, stories, and a visual display. We can set up indoors or out, and we don't need a P/A system or electricity. Simply stated, we are storytellers, and to help tell our stories, we wear the clothing and bring display items from the era we portray. We believe there is nothing more important than to approach history as close to real life as possible. One day, our children will inherit the world our ancestors had envisioned. Until then, let's give them the tools they will need to help make this a better world for all. Preserving a Legacy
