  It does depend how it is presented when one is at school, I was 'vaguely' interested in history then, but not in kings,queens and dates of battles, more how people lived and what they did.
  Then after years of doing family trees and transcribing records I became fascinated by the 'not so distant' past, ie. Victorians, Georgians, and especially reading about their day to day lives in old newspapers, that brings it home much more than lessons at school ever did.
  And then belonging a metal detecting group has given another insight into actual artefacts and things our ancestors used, which can be really fascinating.
