The year is 2026, and America is turning 250. If you're a fan of The Rest Is History, you've likely spent the past year absorbing Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook's deep dives into the American Revolution, the Founding Fathers, and the events that shaped the nation. Now, you can wear that passion. The Rest Is History's merch store offers a selection of items that let you carry a piece of the past with you - whether you're attending a July 4th celebration, hosting a trivia night, or just sipping your morning coffee.

As the nation marks its semiquincentennial, these items help you celebrate the history that made it all possible.
