the old prison in mansfield ohio
Or Alcatraz in San Francisco and you get a boat ride on the Bay as part of the tour.

   Do some research before you visit historical places.

Lived here 5 years, and never realized that there is an old road in a near by town that was a stagecoach rest stop 150 or so years ago. They have an old sawmill out there and a blacksmith shop. Also a museum of old wagons that were horse-drawn in the 1800's and early 1900's.

It is in Greenbush, Wisconsin, and called Old Wade House.

Great fun.....you get around by horse-drawn wagons  :)

I would say there are a lot in Washington DC. Go visit Ford's Theater where Lincoln was assassinated The Liberty bell in Philadelphia, United Nation in New York or Niagra Falls, Ellis Island with the Statue of Liberty, Empire State building, so much more.

Hello to everyone out there in Fusion Cash world:

No, I have not physically visited any "historic place."  But, I have seen "documentaries" on tiv about "historical places" with Huell Howser.

He narrated the story about these "coal miners" who lived in the l900's out in the boondox someplace in a different state than from California which is where my husband Mario and I live.

Anyways, his narration about this place was quite interesting, to say the least.

Basically, it was a place where families lived together and the men would go out to the mines and dig for gold.

And, this is how they got paid in currency at the time, that is what i understood.

Anyways,  because mos of these families were poor...........a lot of physical fights with guns went on in this town and men would shoot one another as they got into these brawls.

And, this one child became angry according to the historian who was telling the story about these miner's lives when his mom told him, "No Jimmy you cannot go out and play in the back yard today son.

He threw a temper tantrum and then went out to his back yard and he started a "fire" which burned the whole town down and everyone was forced to move out of that place!

And, they even showed a picture of the child who had done this horrible thing to that town!

And, believe it or not, they named the town after this child!

And,
