Imagine you have a group of friends who really love a place called Herculaneum. They want to help protect Herculaneum and learn more about it. They call themselves the Friends of Herculaneum Society.
Herculaneum was a city that existed a long time ago in a place now called Italy. Sadly, a big volcano nearby erupted and covered the city in hot ash and lava. This made Herculaneum disappear for many years until people found it again.
The friends of Herculaneum Society want to help make sure that the ancient city of Herculaneum doesn't disappear again. So, they get together and talk about ways to protect it. They might raise money, create events, and get people excited about learning more about Herculaneum.
By joining the Friends of Herculaneum Society, people can help make a difference in preserving this important part of history.
