If you’re a history buff, you'll probably enjoy this fun and exciting webpage from the Library of Congress. Today in History is an online tool updated each day to recount one important historical event that happened that day. You’ll get a mini history lesson every day, and it also make for a great conversation starter.
For example, November 16, 2013 may have just been an average Tuesday for all of us, but on that date in 1863 Abraham Lincoln delivered The Gettysburg Address, one of the most famous speeches in American history.
Today in History allows you to go back and read what you didn’t see, and it also lets you skip forward to future events, too. You can browse events by key words like “battle” or “speech," jump to a specific day in the archive, or just browse the archive by month to see every post. If you're interested in history, the Library of Congress's Today in History site is worth bookmarking!
