Here in Illinois, a good example would be Ft. Massac, at Ft. Massac State
Park. The original site was excavated in the 30s(?) and was left as an
reconstructed ruin, and a new version, based on the excavated example was
constructed very close by.  So you can see the archaeological property and
the reconstruction right next to each other.  Several on-line sites
devoted to the site.
