We’re often asked for book recommendations, educational ideas, or ways to spark a love of history at home. This list is our curated guide—featuring general history-themed books and activities for children, teens, and adults, with a few Naugatuck-inspired nods along the way.
While we always encourage shopping local when possible, we understand Amazon is a convenient option for many.
