Welcome to Historbrick, a new endeavor to retell history in a fun and visually appealing way. My name is Josiah Schmidt, and I am a historian and Lego enthusiast. This idea has rolled around in my mind for some time now. I love the challenge of recreating historical scenes and stories in the medium of the plastic brick. Moreover, I love sharing with others the insights that I have gleaned over the years into what it means to think like a historian. I can’t wait to share both of these elements with you over the coming months and years.
Please return to this site often, as I intend to create and upload new material on a regular basis. I will also sell printed, physical books containing these brick-built pictorial narratives. These will make a perfect gift for your “history buff” or Lego-loving family member or friend.
Please also consider supporting this endeavor on Patreon, so that this project can continue far into the future.
