Historical sites you’ve been to or want to go to thread

Fascinating, PhrozenSands! Am I imagining things, or is there a museum at the Lorraine Motel now? Cheerfulgreek, I've been the Holocaust Museum a few times. It's absolutely horrifying but awesome. May their memories be a blessing.

I started a post about where I've been, as my parents were both history fans, and it's rather long, and it would probably be boring to most people. But here are a few highlights:

I've stood where Lennon was murdered - sadly, 118 days before he was killed. If you've heard my John Lennon story, you know how much that means to me.

I went to two semi-private receptions at the White House - MUCH different from the tour. Never made it to the third floor, though!

I've held the Day Book from Fort Pitt and saw where one of my ancestors signed for his pay during the Revolution, the general store where another ancestor enlisted in Harper's Ferry, and pretty much most of the Lincoln Assassination sites. We were in Spotsylvania, VA when they were excavating, and I have a few of the minie balls that were unearthed.

So many, many more places yet to see!
