We started Honest History as a place for kids to explore the past and discover truthful stories of people and events that changed the world.
Our Mission is to share important, well-researched stories that inspire kids to make a positive impact on history themselves. We encourage children to conduct their own research and unearth stories long lost, supported by verified facts and accompanied by an eager sense of adventure.
