December 28 in History for Kids

December 28 collects short history notes for families. The years on this page include 1619, 1635, 1832, 1836. Violent events and crimes are left off. Each line is a small true thing to ask about, not a whole lesson. February 29 is included so a leap-day birthday still has a page. Walk with the previous and next links, or open the December hub for the rest of the month.
