Because they want to know!
I just read an old history that mentioned how people moving to a just opened area of Illinois found a man living there and that it seemed as if he'd lived there for some time. At one point a doctor was desperatly needed and the new people found that this hermit was a doctor. Afterward he loaded all he owned in a canoe and sailed down the river never to be seen again.
Who wouldn't want to find out neat things like that!

To understand the present and make intelligent choices for the future, it's important to know as much as possible about the past.

its all about life, people and what comes around goes around so to speak. the changes made to bring us where we are now. sometimes a look at the past helps us find answers for today. i could go on but i think you get what i mean. hope this helped.
