Historical Society of Ocean Grove

We believe that historical thinking requires critical approaches to evidence and argument. Historical thinking develops a contextual understanding and historical perspective. This encourages concepts like continuity, change, and causation, and the ability to interpret and communicate complex ideas clearly and coherently. Adapted from the History Relevance Initiative of the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH).

We would like our education and social impact programs to connect thousands of young people and their families, including students, community members, aspiring historians, and educators. Our goal is to offer enriching history experiences, nurture critical thinking at all levels, and harness the power of history to make meaningful differences in people’s lives.
