Spark curiosity with the strange, surprising, and true stories history books often leave out.
The Little-Known History Mail Club brings real events from the past to life through engaging stories, thoughtful clues, and hands-on activities designed just for curious kids.
As your child uncovers forgotten moments, unusual disasters, and hidden mysteries from history, they’ll learn to think critically, ask smart questions, and see how real people faced challenges, solved problems, and helped one another — lessons that still matter today.
What Arrives Each Month
Each delivery from the Little-Known History Mail Club is a thoughtfully prepared packet designed to feel special, manageable, and meaningful.
Inside each envelope, your child will receive:
- A featured historical story
A short, engaging account of a real but little-known event from history, written in clear, age-appropriate language. - Detective-style clues, questions, and a small activity
Guided prompts that encourage close reading, critical thinking, and reflection — without busywork or excessive writing. - A keepsake postcard or collectible card
A visual reminder of the event, designed to be saved, displayed, or revisited later. - A link to optional answers and extra facts
For families who want to check understanding together or explore a bit deeper.
Each month focuses on one complete historical event, making the experience easy to enjoy in a single sitting or spread out over a few days.
