Lee Wright & Carrie Lund
Wrap-up
Brief event wrap-up and thank you to everyone who has been part of History Camp America.
Lee Wright, MS, moved to New England in 2005, bought an old house (c 1780), and soon was serving on the board of his local historical society and historical commission. He started The History List in 2011 and History Camp in 2014.
In 2019 he founded The Pursuit of History, LLC, with Carrie Lund after seeing the success of History Camp and believing that there was a need for more History Camps and more innovative ways to engage people from all walks of life with history.
Lee has spoken at the New England Museum Association conference and the annual conference of the America Association for State and Local History. He has a Masters of Management from Northwestern University and lives in Marlborough, Massachusetts.
Carrie Lund (LinkedIn) founded History Camp Colorado in 2016 and was instrumental in the expansion of History Camp Boston and the founding of History Camp Virginia. In 2019, she co-founded The Pursuit of History with Lee Wright with the goal of engaging more people with history in innovative ways.
Carrie is responsible for administering History Camp and related online events, and for establishing and building out the capabilities of The Pursuit of History (thepursuitofhistory.org). She has a degree in history and a background in the financial services industry. Formerly a volunteer on the side, she now pursues her passion for history full time.
