History Unboxed® was founded in 2014 by second-generation home educator, Elizabeth Hauris. Her background as a living history educator and entrepreneur allowed her to launch an educational company that brought the living history experience into homes around the world. Her experience as a busy parent to seven children led her to create open-and-go materials that brought the whole family to the table to learn together.
In 2015, Creative Director Stephanie Hanson joined the team after leaving her job as an elementary school teacher. Stephanie has a degree in history and a Master's Degree in Education. She has worked and volunteered in the living history field since 2004. These experiences guide her in writing engaging history materials for learners of all ages.
