For me, while nothing "historical" happened there, I loved going through the mansions in Newport, Rhode Island. Spent a day there in August of 1992. One of the most beautiful days I ever had. (Of course, I was on my honeymoon, so it helped.)

My favorite was Colonial Williamsburg, VA and visiting the "fort" there.

My favorite so far though in keeping the thread close to on track has probably been St Augustine. Hit the fort there, the lighthouse and grounds, and a few other places.
When I was a kid I visited a fort in Wyoming where Sitting Bull was held and that was pretty neat, but I was young enough not to appreciate it entirely. I just thought Indians were 'cool'.
I've also visited numerous Civil War battle grounds which have also been enlightening.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
The strongest impression and most moving experience was visiting Dachau. I think of it often.
Favorite historical sites in the US:
USS Constitution
Charleston, SC, Battery Row
Monuments in DC

Avignon

Bear Butte
General Sherman Tree
Backstage at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk Big Dipper Rollercoaster
St. Peter's in the Vatican, and the Colosseum just a few miles down the road.
Washington DC was chock full of them, but the National Cathedral stands out.
Also, standing in the elevator in the lobby of "Club 33" at Disneyland, and knowing Walt Disney was once there was a thrill for a Disney geek like myself.
At the top of my list was my trip to Israel in '93. After that would be the numerous Civil War and Revolutionary War battlefields I've been to, all the places in and around Boston, and Independence Hall in Philly.

Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Help stamp out, eliminate, and do away with redundancy.
