Our Story

We love this town and the stories of how this community was built. It was built by ordinary people who gathered and did extraordinary things together.

Our aim is to tell these stories the best way we know how: around good food and drink.

History Class was built to be a place that the people of our community can gather, support progress by supporting each other, and help Bay County realize it's untapped potential.
