I always enjoy going to Washington, DC. There is so much to see and do - the White House, Washington Monument, the Capitol, the Lincoln, Jefferson, and other memorials, the Air and Space Museum, the Holocaust Museum and more!  I especially enjoy the Smithsonian museum - you could spend days just exploring that!

Great question for summertime travels. My home state, Illinois, is the land of Lincoln. You can find things everywhere about Lincoln.

We love Williamsburg Va. No matter how many times you have been before, you can always take something different away with you.

I use to live in Washington, DC so I was able to explore so many historic places. I loved it! I started with a list of the top places to visit and after those were crossed off I kept finding more and more. I recommend a guided tour because some of the guides are so rich with fun and interesting facts I would have never known. It's a great place to learn, explore, and pay tribute.

Washington DC has tons of historical places to visit. Boston is another city that has so many places to visit as well. Gettysburg is great for seeing old battlefields. There are a few places that also have actors / staff that portrait people as they would have lived during that time in history: Williamsburg and Fort Snelling are 2 places I've gone to that do that. Colorado is also good for both natural and event history as exemplified by Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peek respectively.

Williamsburg, VA is a good historical place to visit.  St. Petersburg and Fort Lauderdale, FL are a couple of other good places.  I will be checking out historical places on the Big Island of Hawaii in a couple of weeks.
Have a wonderful day!

We have been to Williamsburg, VA area twice  and Washington, DC. 
The Williamsburg-Jamestown-Yorktown triangle is full of American history - and the best part of it all is how well the history is portrayed, from the authentically reproduced, handmade costumes of Colonial Williamsburg's interpreters to the carefully laid out Jamestown settlement, to the eerily preserved portions of the Yorktown battlefield.

I went Gettysburg PA, you can watched the movie and the oil painting like what happen before the civil war. The people wear clothes like in the era of civil war.

I would love to go to Gettysburg and to Washington DC. Maybe Salem for the Witch Trials.
