Historical America in Song, released in 1950 by Encyclopædia Britannica Films, is an album set by folk singer Burl Ives.

[1] Each album has its own cover with a drawing of the Washington Monument on it (see the illustration).

The album set was designed to be used in four types of academic courses: music appreciation, American history, literature, and social studies.

Each song was selected and is introduced by Ives.

The introductions "establish the songs in mood, time, and place" and "point up the significance of the songs and highlight their most important elements.
