Linda,
What a great set of questions!! I would love to see the responses you get!
The archaeological "park" that first popped into my mind is St. Mary's City
in Southern Maryland -- the 1634 English settlement and first colonial
capital in Maryland. They're doing some fantastic things with creating a
sense of the 17th-century landscape (rebuilt structures, ghost structures,
bits of foundations, 21st-century paths that protect the 17th-century ones)
and with living history. Also, NPS's Jamestown Historic Site and the
Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities are in the midst
of planning to update their joint interpretation of Jamestown Island. As
far as I can tell, they're not planning to rebuild any of the historic
structures, but the ongoing archaeology has been fascinating (including
Bill Kelso's APVA work on the first fort). There's also Louisbourg in
Canada that has a great reputation, but someone else will have to provide
details on that, as I've not been there.
