The History Channel is going back to the future, "Making the Past Come Alive" and letting the public in on the fun. The History Channel Time Machine Tour, centered around a 48-foot mobile museum, is an interactive national traveling exhibit that takes a look at major events and go-getters of our society.
The tour began Sept. 20 and is making scheduled stops in more than 50 cities and 100 schools.
Folks can test their history IQ with games, get the inside scoop behind inventions and "experience" momentous events in our nation's history, such as the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
"History is dynamic and exciting," says Artie Scheff, VP-marketing and on-air promotions for The History Channel, "and The Time Machine's mission is to bring that feel and that spark to children and adults throughout the country."
Nine-foot wall panels in the exhibit represent a different program from the network, such as the mini-series Founding Fathers, the ongoing series Modern Marvels, This Week in History, and History's Lost & Found.
The last panel, "Save Our History," emphasizes the History Channel's national campaign that supports historic restoration and preservation projects.
