“This was a gift for my history teacher grandson. Out of curiosity, I have it sent to me and then I send it to him. We were both hooked from the beginning. About the 3rd mailing he said, "The best gift ever!" We discuss every mailing.”

Hold History in Your Hands

History By Mail makes history tangible, relatable, and exciting by providing opportunities to learn directly from primary source documents. Instead of learning about abstract dates and concepts, History By Mail allows you to delve deeply into the details of historic documents as you learn about them. What did the check to purchase Alaska look like? What did Abraham Lincoln's handwriting look like?

Learn from a Fresh Angle

Did you know that New Years was traditionally celebrated on March 25 in Great Britain and its colonies before the British Calendar Act of 1751 was enacted? History By Mail presents fascinating details and angles on people and events you may have already known about. We tell the interesting stories behind our historic replicas that entertain even the most avid history fans.

Discovery Method: I saw this on Shark Tank. I paused the show & ordered before it even got to the Sharks. Such a great presentation & great idea for my mom!
Influencing Factors: My mom has always loved history & she is home bound & alone at 92. She doesn’t use a computer or smart phone so when I saw this I instantly knew she would love it. Mother’s Day was coming up so the timing was perfect.
Gift to my 92 year old mother

This was a Mother’s Day gift to my mother because she has always loved history. She doesn’t have a computer & still loves getting hand written letters.
She doesn’t see well so I also gave her a page magnifier not knowing what to expect from these letters.
I got a short text saying she loved the gift. I was a little disappointed that she didn’t say more than that but she doesn’t text much.
Later in the month I went to spend a week with her. She grabbed up the folder with her letters & spent over two hours telling me all about Amelia Earheart & everything she had learned about her. She was so excited that she had my sister get her books about her to learn more!
Best gift ever!
