G – History
Lewes (Trinity Faith Education Building) | March 30, 2026-April 27, 2026
Monday: 9:15 AM-10:15 AM
Since ancient times, humans have chronicled the world: from inscribed bones of our earliest ancestors to today’s Google Maps. See how geography shapes our view of the planet and how maps have fashioned the world we know today. Visit some of Earth’s most isolated locales and places where conflicts still arise due to disputed borders and contested national boundary claims. Finally, explore our maps of other worlds and even the entire cosmos.
This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
