OHP Radio In The Dirt Halloween Special
A correction - we were talking in the show on the base minimum that OHP needs to operate I wrongly said $3000 and that would be correct with everything combined (software and equipment) doing the very least that we could do. The correct figure for hosting, websites bandwidth and storage is $1650 yearly just to maintain the space. As you can see this leaves no room for growth, projects or general operating expenses (lights, phone, rent etc.). As you can see we need your help to keep this project going. Any amount will be helpful and you can donate or sign up for a membership, supporter or sponsor on our website or just contact me craiganderson@ourhistoryproject.com .
Our Grant writing will start soon so if you have experience in this process and could either volunteer to write or to review Grants that we write, please let us know. In November we will be on the 50 State National Registry which is required by most Grants.
So, keep your eyes and ears open for us on historical or art related grants.

OHP Radio - Lets All Go To Gullah Gulla Island with Ron Daise
Sorry I could not resist the title and today we are joined by Ron Daise. A Gullah Historian to talk about the Gullah Language, Culture and Heritage. I really had a good time with Mr. Ron and I know you will to. We talk about a wide range of topics including the Slave Trade to Traditions to Wives Tales and so much more. We could not possibly cover all that we wanted in the one hour that we had, though we did try. For that reason I have provided you with some links to discover more.

OHP Radio - The Canonball House in Historic Macon, GA
Welcome to Our History Project
I want to invite you to the Canonball House Museum in Macon, GA. It is a stop along the trail that you will not forget because it has something for everyone. From the little kids to the big kids they have a piece of history and a love of sharing that will not only embrace you but also immerse you in history. The unique experience in talking to Dorene Buchanan is that she could talk as much about the rest of Historical Macon as she did about the Canonball House, and they want you to explore it all.
The Canonball House is right off I-75 and I-16 in Macon, GA, so the next time you are driving through pull off, stretch your legs and explore some History with them. If your local, what better way to spend the day. They would love to have ya.
Download the show.

OHP Radio - Eric Hammel - Where did it all come from?
The question we try and answer today is "Where did all this come from?" We explore what America did pre-war to bring about all that was seen that faithful morning. The planning, the companies, the material, the training and the foresight to bring it all together.
Bestselling Author Eric Hammel joins us again today to give insight on what this meant not only for our Troops but on the Home Front as well. To learn more about Eric Hammel and his books visit his Bio page here or visit his site Eric Hammel Books. Eric is a regular here so we have a lot of information on him, he has over 30 books to his credit with more on the way. We want to thank Mr. Eric for always being there.
OHP Board Meeting: 5:30PM - Nov.6th, 2009 Nash Farm Battlefield, Henry County GA.
