Pictures, videos, and descriptions are wonderful for seeing and learning about the places that impacted the past, but there really are no adequate substitutes for physically exploring the sites...in person. Visiting and visually beholding great fields of battle, grand vistas, and museum artifacts, where events and pieces of enormous import creates awe and wonder. The following is a partial list of some of the places I have been able to experience in person. A few are more general cities, regions or even people. Those with pictures/videos hyperlink to the albums. While media may not replicate being there, it might be the next best thing.
Few battles in North America have greater significance than the Battle of Fallen Timbers. The balance of power in "Middle Ground Ohio" was decisively tipped.
The battlefield is a clump of trees. It took about an hour to walk all the way around it.
Given the upper 90s temperatures and the long, I am glad my kids have a sense of adventure...and like history
