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.

I've had calendars from there. It's definitely a place on my "list".
Is someone going to break into something about ''not able to reach everywhere with a washcloth''?
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.

The Newport Travelodge.
Uh, not exactly the Space Age Lodge:The Newport Travelodge.
I was sitting in a room in that Travelodge eating pizza the night Tom Browning threw his perfect game. It was cold and rainy and we decided a nice warm room at the Newport Travelodge would be better than going to the game as we had originally planned.The Newport Travelodge.
Help stamp out, eliminate, and do away with redundancy.
mine would be visiting the 38th parallel in Korea, it is truly amazing and heart wrenching to think that on the other side of that fence, is people are ruled by literally an evil dictator.

I stayed there for all the 1990 playoff games and WS.The Newport Travelodge.

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.
