Nov 11, 2005 - Five history professors and seven student members of Phi Alpha Theta (History Honor Society, Inc.) did a service project on November 9, 2005, at Fort Donelson National Battlefield as a part of Union University’s third annual “Day of Remembrance.” Participants planted trees and cleaned gravestones at the park’s national cemetery. In the afternoon the group did a battle-site tour that climaxed in a visit to the battlefield museum.
Last year history faculty and Phi Alpha Theta students completed a service project and tour at Shiloh National Military Park. In both outings, participants were able to contribute to the maintenance of an important historical site and learn about its place in the history of America.
