We believe that when people think historically, they are engaging in a disciplined way of thinking about the world and its past. We believe it gives thinkers a knack for recognizing nonsense; and that it cultivates not only intellectual curiosity and rigor, but also intellectual humility.

Amanda Roper (https://www.amandahroper.com/) is a public historian who has spent her career working to preserve historic places and share traditionally underrepresented stories from America's past. She has been Director of the Lee-Fendall House Museum and Sr. Manager of Public Programs & Interpretation at Woodlawn & Pope-Leighey House (https://woodlawnpopeleighey.org/), both in Alexandria, Virginia. In 2018, Amanda was recognized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation on their list of 40 Under 40: People Saving Places (https://savingplaces.org/40-under-40) for her significant impact on historic preservation and her contributions to the public's understanding of why places matter. Amanda is currently researching and writing a book about the history of women in preservation. She is a 2025-2026 Research Fellow at the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon (https://www.mountvernon.org/library). And, she also has been listening to Historically Thinking for a surprisingly long time–or so she claims.For Further Investigation * Amanda Roper – Official Website (https://www.amandahroper.com/)* Lee-Fendall House Museum & Garden (https://www.leefendallhouse.org/)* Woodlawn & Pope-Leighey House (https://woodlawnpopeleighey.org/)* McLeod Plantation Historic Site (https://ccprc.com/1447/McLeod-Plantation-Historic-Site)* Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor (https://gullahgeecheecorridor.org/)* National Trust for Historic Preservation – 40 Under 40 (https://savingplaces.org/40-under-40)* George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon (https://www.mountvernon.org/library)* Society for American Archivists – Women’s History Resources (https://www2.archivists.org/groups/womens-collections-section)* National Association for Interpretation (https://www.interpnet.com/)* Richard Moe, "Are There Too Many House Museums?"
