National History Day

In 2017, North Lakeland students participated in the National History Day competition for the first time. The theme was Conflict and Compromise, and three projects from North Lakeland were submitted to the regional competition at Lakeland Union High School. Of those, two were chosen to move on to the state competition in Madison.

The year started with a field trip to local historical places.

2017 Field Trip Write Up

Here are some of the process papers that students had to create as a part of the 2017 competition:

CCC Annotated Bib

Hunting Group NHD

Buswell NHD Annotated Bib and Process Paper

Gangster History

This project focused on the connection between Wittig's Point Resort to Chicago-area gangsters.

What Happened to Buswell?

This project looked at the logging era of the Northwoods and what happened to small towns that sprang up around mills.

This project about the CCC Camp on White Sand Lake is currently on display at the Boulder Junction Historical Society Museum.
