There is Battery Robinette, a Civil War earthwork, in Corinth, Mississippi.
A reconstruction was built in 1970's just off of the footprint of the
original breastwork. I believe they had intended to rebuild it in the same
spot as the original. There is also Fort Caroline, a French Colonial
period fort, in Jacksonville, Florida. The original location of Fort
Caroline is debatable, however.

I am looking for examples of historic site reconstructions that are
positioned in proximity to the structure's original (excavated) sites. I am
aware of the reconstructed Ft. Seminoe (in Wyoming) which was erected a
short distance from the excavated foundations of the original fort. Does
anyone know of other similar examples of this method of preservation and
interpretation?
Thanks for the help.
