Mugs with a Story

We hope our history mugs encourage learning.  Most of our biographies focus on individuals who played a significant role in history.   New biographies are added frequently due to requests from individuals and museums, as well as our personal interest in various topics.

While the majority of our biographies have focused on politics and US history, we are developing biographies on scientists, authors, and leaders of social & civil rights causes.

History Mugs are the perfect gift for those who love learning about our country’s rich and storied past.

Four styles, Two sizes

Our history mugs are available in two sizes and four styles.  The small mugs hold 11 ounces and the large mugs hold 15 ounces.

Historical Topics

We continue to add new topics and seek out images and stories of noteworthy historical figures.  Each of these individuals led an amazing life and made major contributions to the United States.  With such interesting people, it is difficult to limit the story of their lives on the small biographical panel on these mugs.

We would love to hear from other history buffs about individuals they would like to see added to this collection.
