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.
