WHEN IS HISTORY DAY?
The 2023 Butte County History Day Competition will take place on Saturday,

ABOUT
National History Day (NHD) is a premier competition that engages more than half a million students nationally. As part of NHD, Butte County History Day allows students to participate in authentic, challenging, project-based learning that lasts an entire school year. Students select topics and research them as historians would – by using libraries, archives, museums, and oral history interviews. Their analysis and interpretations come together with the facts and evidence they've gathered to become their final projects.
