You will need to do some research
Though you may have your theme in mind, you’ll do some research for exact dates, place, relevance and character of your presentation. Historical facts and relevance to the passage of time, present orientation of events, and future importance of preserving the historical linkage of the event.
Choose a compelling historical event
You may select any historical event, you deem compelling that would entertain a large interest, or loyal followers. We all have heard the events of The Titanic, the compelling events of the sinking of the ship, the fatal voyage, the cast of persons lost, and that survived. There are other ships to explore, with compelling tales of heroics, of loss, and historical mystery.
Think of Landmarks
Among the historical linkage, is landmarks. These stately, or rambling, as the case may be, structures, breathe tales of mystery, intriguing monuments to the past, and their statue in the present, frozen in the vapors of time. Landmarks, like Browns Ferry Tavern, on Browns Ferry Road in Chattanooga, TN, once lodged on 200 acres that span to the Tennessee River, now on 8 remaining acres, captive to the discretion of modern day terms. There ghost, the unsuspecting victims of John Brown are said to have made their ghostly rambling well known.
Controversial political figures
There are many to choose from, controversial, and intriguing, the driven, symbolic of their heritage. There has always been a loyal following for the Civil War generals, the North and the South, brother against brother, and the poignant aftermath of what was to live in historical legacy. There, too are political figures of today, lesser reverend, but personable or disdained, who leave their mark in the scheme of consequences.
Document your Find
Support your historical website with facts, keynotes, records and letters. Gather personal reflection of the events, and present some of your own, for introspection and the value of homage for subtle inner-ties of the past and the present.

To my history buff husband – who introduced me to more history than I ever knew. Aptly he cast an endearing introduction to sailing doomed ships, carriers, and a cast of Civil War characters, of which I now know by name.
