I don't like historical sites, Mr. scott free. I prefer new ones. Less dust.
However, I think a lot of guys here have been to Mr. Redrum_69's Old Cooter Museum. FAX |

I've traveled the world. I've been to archeology digs at the Dead Sea, saw the pyramids, Rome, Athens, Stoneage, Jerusalem Old city(lived there for 3 months), Venice, Paris etc etc
The "coolest"? Jerusalem hands down. The most beautiful city in the world.

Mt. Rushmore was really cool when I took the family in the Summer of 2000.

Last summer, my family visited the Northfield bank that Jesse James and his gang tried to rob. The tour guide did a very nice job of describing the raid, the gunfight, the subsequent capture of the Younger brothers and the escape of the James brothers, and the subsequent history of each of the survivors. I criticized him for putting a Yankee spin on everything (instead of recognizing that James was a southern Robin Hood ) and he offered to let me give the next tour, but I politely declined. We both laughed. It was a simple little museum, but it was interesting, particularly because we've taken our kids to see the James family home in Kearney, MO and the site of the first daylight bank robbery (which was performed by the James gang) in Liberty, MO. We also went to a cave in SE Missouri where the James gang holed up and escaped from a posse once too. We need to head up to St. Joe sometime and see what kind of James history they have up there.

You sir have opened a can since I'm a big history dork.
I've been to Liberty Plaza in Philly, which includes Freedom Hall and the Liberty Bell. I've hiked through some jungle to see Mayan ruins in Belize. I've seen the view from Lookout Mountain and paid my respects to the grave of Bill Cody. I've climbed Ayres Rock in Australia (it holds great significance to the Aborigines). I’ve walked the trail of the first convicts to settle Sydney and I’ve toured the USS Intrepid in NYC. I’ve seen the Anasazi cliff ruins in New Mexico and walked the streets of St. Augustine FL (founded in 1530 and the oldest permanent city in N. America). If things ever settle down I’m going to check out Greece and Italy.
