>correct, should be a(n) historic
The word historic doesn’t have a silent H and begins with a consonant sound like the word hip, so it makes sense to use the word a. Additionally, most style guides recommend using a before historic, history, and historical.

Style guides like The Chicago Manual of Style, The AP Stylebook, and The Penguin Writer’s Manual regard the following as correct in modern usage:
“a historical event”
“a historic event.”
Clearly, modern usage prefers “a historic” and “a historical,” as well as a before other “h words” that readers asked about: “a hotel,” “a horrible accident,” and “a horrific statistic.”
Speakers who say “an historic” are not necessarily being “pretentious or snooty.” It could be that they learned the usage from family members and teachers educated in earlier generations.
