Q1:Do they have the same meaning?

1.We will learn about the history of that old town.
2.We will learn the history about that old town.
3.We will learn about that old town's history.

Q2:If not, how to rewrite 2 and 3 to answer 1?

Thank you

1.We will learn about the history of that old town.

This is correct.
You can learn/study the history.... or learn/study about the history...

2.We will learn the history about that old town.

"About" doesn't sound right to me after the word history.

3.We will learn about that old town's history.

This is correct for me.
