About

Hi, I’m John Hergenhan, a 20-year-old history student at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been fascinated by history, whether it was learning about ancient civilizations, key historical figures, (especially presidents) or the unfolding of events that shaped the world we live in today. My passion for history has only grown as I’ve continued my studies, and now I’m committed to diving deeper into the field, both academically and professionally.

As a sophomore at MTSU, I’m pursuing my love for history through my coursework, independent research, and now, through this blog. My ultimate goal is to become actively involved in historical preservation—helping to safeguard the stories, artifacts, and structures that connect us to the past. Whether it’s through museum work, archival research, or preservation projects, I’m eager to contribute to the ongoing effort to keep history alive for future generations.

I created this blog to share my thoughts, research, and passion for history with others, and I’m excited to explore all the ways history intersects with the present. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy what you find here!
