In an earlier blog entry, I listed all the Civil War sites I have visited. As a follow-up, here's a list of Colonial, Revolutionary War, and antebellum sites I have visited.
Ash Lawn, home of James Monroe. VA.
Brandywine Battlefield. PA.
Charles Pinckney National Historic Site. SC.
Concord Battlefield. MA.
Drayton Hall. SC.
Fort Mackinac. MI.
Fort McHenry. MD.
Fort Michilimackinac. MI.
Fort Niagara. NY.
Fort Wilkins. MI.
Fort Wayne. MI.
George Washington's Birthplace. VA
Jamestown. VA.
King's Mountain Battlefield. SC.

Quote of the Day:
It was an oddly clear night when she went out, with slanting particles of thin sleet making white of a blue-black sky. This was the same bus that had taken her into town but there seemed to be more windows broken now and the bus driver was irritated and talked about the terrible things he would do if he caught any kids. She knew he was just talking about the annoyance in general, just as she had been thinking about the annoyance of an alcoholic. When she came up to the suite and found him all helpless and distraught she would despise him and feel sorry for him.
--- F. Scott Fitzgerald, An Alcoholic Case, 1937.
