I don't know if this is considered a historical event or not, well, here goes:
Any mountain climbers reaching the top of Mount Everest always stick a flag in the snow. Why would anybody do that? What's the big deal when you can get up there on a broom any time you want?

Wizards might find the idea of computers really weird, maybe the characters could go to a public library and have to use muggle technology?

Historical Event - Someone being presented with a "key to the city" from the mayor.

this one is a bit tough, personally i don't really like history but oh well, my guess is that they would find sending the man to the moon weird as why would anyone would want to take so much trouble and money when you can just apprate
