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.

Live Call In Show and Chat
Starting on Monday, October 19 at 10PM we will be hosting a live call in show. This is a new technology that was been provided by 1000Mikes and it will bring another element to Our History Project and we want you to be a part of it. From a landline you can call 678-369-7943 or anywhere in the world by Skype to wesly.c.anderson. We will also be in the chat room at The World Detector Community its free and a lot of fun.
This is brand new for Butch and I so we will be flying by the seat of our pants. We'll get through it and is guaranteed to be a lot of fun.
New Items In
A very big thank you goes out to Gary Williams and The Hanover Brass Foundry for donating a collection of Reproduction Civil War Belt Buckles. They are the beautiful and I will have them up on the website next week. Christmas is coming so get yours while they last. Best quality anywhere, and through us it is tax deductable too.

OHP Radio - The Canonball House in Historic Macon, GA
An Invitation For You
Wednesday, August 26, 2009
OHP Radio - Digging at the Museum!
If you think what is in the yards and fields where you hunt are great finds, it doesn’t compare with what you can dig up at your local museum. No, we are not condoning taking a shovel or a detector and you do have to go during the day, but we are saying get off the couch and out the door. Go visit!
I bet there are a lot of folks who have not explored you local flavor of history. I’m no exception in this either. I went for years traveling the country and seeing all I could see and never looking around at what is here in front of me. Yes, I hit the biggies but not the smaller places. What I found is I missed a lot and you would be surprised at what can be found if you just take the time to look.
Folks, these are hard times and a lot of these local, county or regional historic places are closing- Maybe for a day, maybe two or maybe forever. Don’t let our history disappear lets go visit.
Have a great week,
Craig

OUR HISTORY PROJECT - OUR HISTORY
We have been moving fast and preparing for the release of next weeks show. Cassie and I are excited to have it finally under way. In this micro-wave world of I want it now it is hard to realize how far we really have come in such a very short time.
Have you ever had an idea that literally shook you to the core? I have and let me tell you it is a life altering change that not only rocked my world but a lot of folks went with me for this ride.
Almost seven weeks ago this project was an idea. Through dedication and very hard work form a lot of people we have pulled tighter a project that launched itself into the stratosphere.
In the first five weeks we created the project, Gave it a name, Designed the Logo, letterhead and such. Became a Nonprofit Corporation was cleared by the state of GA Charities Division, put together the web-site, blogs, forums, promotional literature, interviewed and have cut three shows, developed a donation guide and came up with some very cleaver ways to support individuals, groups and businesses who support us, our mission and our vision.
We have gone from no web presence at all to being found everywhere. Every search engine has picked us up and we are right there in the top. Thanks to the top team in the business we are listed on several podcast directories including i-tunes, podcast alley, podbean and podcast pickle.
We have aired two promo pieces, cut three shows and have several more topics lined up and waiting in the wings, including something special for the 75th anniversary of "Gone With The Wind" in April.
Show ideas are coming in from all over and we want you to send us yours to. We are crossing the country to find these stories about all aspects of American History. What do you want to hear more about? We are rolling strong folks and we want you with us. Contact us or visit our website to find out how you can make a difference. Don't worry, not all of it involves money. There are things you can do in your neighborhood or at home that involves no money from you or asking anyone else. Don't get me wrong we are a 100% Nonprofit business and we will need donations, memberships, supporters and sponsors to stay alive in the long run and we will be grateful for anything you can do. However the main goal that we are striving for is "Preservation."
Where can you find us on the Web? Or, at least what I have found so far:

So, you can see we have gotten around a little. But it does not need to stop there. Help us in sharing the memories of the past. Get involved and help us preserve our shared memories and times. We are going to cross every boundary - ethnic, racial, generational, economic and geographic.
Come be a part of it.
