FPRI's Wachman Center is proud to administer the History
Institute for Teachers, chaired by David Eisenhower and
Walter A. McDougall. Designed to bring high school teachers
from around the country together with the nation's top
scholars on world history and politics, the History
Institute offers intensive weekends of lectures and
discussion.
In collaboration with the Cantigny First Division
Foundation
and with support from the Lynde and Harry Bradley
Foundation, FPRI has developed an ongoing focus on military
history, a subject hugely important but frequently neglected
in academia and at the secondary school level.
