I will be teaching a survey course in U.S. History to 1877 in fall.  I am 
considering assigning a project for students to assess a public history 
experience (historic houses, battlefields, volunteer w/a public archeology 
program, etc.) and thought of websites that provided enough material to equate 
with physically visiting a location.  I realized that my "recommended" list is 
heavily weighted to the Middle Atlantic, because of my familiarity with the 
regional history and historic archeology.    

In an effort for geographic diversity, can anyone recommend favorite web sites, 
appropriate for such a class assignment?  

Thanks in advance.
Chris
