Discovery Series – Indiana

Discovery Series Indiana is a mug for the Crossroads of America state. Indiana earned that nickname thanks to its central location and the web of highways and railroads that run through it, connecting the Midwest to the rest of the country. Its name comes from the word “Indian land,” a reminder of the Native American tribes who first called this place home.

Discovery Series – New Hampshire

Posted on

Here’s another mug I picked up while travelling through New England. Similar to the one from the previous collection, the design of the Discovery Series New Hampshire mug features shades of blue.

New Hampshire became one of the original thirteen colonies in 1788, rich in forests, rivers, and a stubborn spirit of independence. Its motto, “Live Free or Die,” still sums up the state’s character – proud, practical, and a little rebellious. Once built on logging and textile mills, New Hampshire now thrives on small businesses, tourism, and outdoor life.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – St. Louis

Let’s see what the design of the Discovery Series Ornament St. Louis can offer.

St. Louis began as a French fur trading post in 1764, named after King Louis IX of France. It grew quickly thanks to its prime location along the Mississippi River, becoming a key stop for traders and settlers heading west. By the 1800s, it was one of the busiest ports in the country and a true crossroads of America. The city played a big role during the westward expansion, earning its nickname “The Gateway to the West.” Its streets carry traces of French, African American, and immigrant influences that shaped its culture.… Read more
