What an amazing job you’ve done! And allow me to thank you for both sharing it and letting us download it.
I LOVE these! Thanks so much for sharing them with us. It has obviously taken you a lot of time to put together, and you clearly have some expertise in this area as well. The 19th Century one is perfect for my history coop, where we are studying 19th Century World History. I hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to post your link on my blog as a fantastic resource!
Thanks from Cary, North Carolina, USA (outside the capital city of Raleigh, NC)

Love your timeline! I have a fantastic history timeline that I’m putting together and yours will fit in beautifully! Now, I can include art and hopefully music in our study of history and all at the same time. I hope you won’t mind if I include a link to your site in my list of homeschooling sites that I have on my blog! I just HAVE to share such a fantastic site with other homeschooling families!!! Your material is JUST what I’ve been looking for.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! I’ve been wanting something like these to teach my 4 year old who LOVES music. I’ve wanted to show him pictures of the people who composed the music he loves listening to, but haven’t had time. An excellent addition to his Music Notebook. Thank you for so generously charing your hard work! Much appreciation!
