Saratoga, NY
I've been for Fort Ticonderoga...they do alot of reinactments in the summer. I once met a family there and they had a 3 year old son and they lived their entire lives like they were in the 18th century. that was the only life their son knew.
Saratoga is a beautiful place not just for the battlefield but the horse track and the victorian architecture.
I would like to go to Monticello and Mount Vernon but also St. Augustine in FL, Antietam, Roanoke, Jamestown, Plymouth, DC...
I would like to go to Gettysburg too to see the battlefield. Went once before when I was 15 but we only went to the wax musuem which was pretty cool but the battlefield would be so much better, I'd appreciate it more now especially knowing what I do than when I was only a teenager

I've been all over the Gettysburg battlefield. It's wonderful, beautiful, and serene. I actually want to live there one day.
I want to go to Appomattox Court House and see where the actual surrendering of General Lee took place.

Well, Freak...You can....sort of. The actual building is not there; it is a reproduction of the MacLean house.

If you have the opportunity to visit Ford's Theater, don't pass up the chance to check out the "house where Lincoln died", located right across the street. It's guaranteed to be a memorable visit. When I was 9 or 10 y.o., I went on a family trip to DC and we saw it all: Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Kennedy's grave, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Smithsonian (saw Washington's uniform on display), and even took a guided tour of the White House. Ford's Theater was closed for renovations at the time so that was a no-go. We were just about to get back into the car when my father noticed a narrow building across the street with an American flag hanging by the front steps. We decided to check into it and it turned out to be well-worth the time and minimal admission fee. You walk into this tiny house and go up to the 2nd floor. There you pass into the bedroom where Lincoln died. The sheets on the small bed on which he bought the big one were still rumpled and the blood on the pillow had of course turned to a brownish color over the years -- it blew me away, even at that young age. You have to experience it to know what I'm talking about; there's simply no way of conveying the sensation that courses through you. You're right there!
.. and in Oregon the Vortex. There is some historical significance to these places.

Some of my answers are similar to those posted by the others.
All of Virginia, Washignton DC, Boston, NYC. Certain areas of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, California, Arizona, Tennessee, exc. The Smithsonian, Ellis Island, Fords Theatre, Memphis and several war sites throughout the country. I'd say number one on my list would be Cholame, California.

I grew up in NYC and now live next door to Concord. Whether it's theater arts sites or museums I have been able to visit or live in many places in the US. Libraries, museums and sites I will do NYC all over again for sure...
I had to Google Cholame, Calif to see where it was. The James Dean memorial.
Cool. http://www.tentativetimes.net/cholame/
My next road trip will be thru there to follow the San Andreas Fault.
