Every week, a child receives a personalized letter from someone living through history—then writes back and becomes part of the story.
A unique summer experience that inspires reading, writing, curiosity, and a love of history.
Most gifts are opened once and forgotten.
Historical Adventures by Mail arrives week after week, creating excitement, anticipation, and meaningful learning all summer long.
Every letter invites children into a historical adventure while encouraging them to read, think, and write in response.
It is a gift that keeps giving long after the season has passed.
Each week:
The result is an immersive learning experience unlike anything else available.
Children don't feel like they are studying history.
They feel like they are helping someone live through it.
Whether they're traveling with pioneers, enduring Valley Forge, surviving the Great Depression, or experiencing World War II through the eyes of someone their own age, children become emotionally invested in the story.
And that changes everything.
