Please join us, if you can, at either our Local’s Meet-Up Dinner Cruise in London on Saturday, June 25, 2022 or (and?) at our Boston Local’s Meet-Up Dinner Cruise in Boston also on a Saturday: October 21, 2022.
Our New England Field Trip to Boston and Newport from October 16-23, 2022, is filling fast, with just a few more open spaces left. We would love to travel with you, and the folks at Like Minds Travel did a spectacular job organizing the tours around our former subjects, and the dinners for maximum fun…we’re so very, very excited!
And, finally, here is a direct link to our new merch shop if you’re thinking, “I would love a t-shirt, tote, sticker, magnet…something to support The History Chicks!” (And there is always a button to the right, scroll down, that says Shop our Shop! —->)
