You can easily download or subscribe to birthdays and events from AmericanHistoryCalendar.com to your computer or Google calendar. What's the difference? Downloading the calendar is a one-time shot. All the events are downloaded but you will not get updates to the calendar if additions or changes are made. Subscribing to a calendar gives you all the events plus your calendar program will periodically check for calendar updates. Not all calendar programs support both options. Follow the directions below for the appropriate calendar program you are using.
