There is tons of historical stuff around me but admittedly, except for early American history (I grew up in New England), I don't know as much about it as I should.

Let's see what I can recall:

The Woolworth's where the 4 black students took a stand by eating at the 'white' lunch counter as a major turning point in the civil rights movement? That's a couple of miles from my house in our downtown area.



There are tons of Civil War historical sites around here including battlegrounds (part of my commute is on Old Battleground road where I ride by a few old cannons). Tons of early southern plantations, as well...This is the heart of tobacco country. This is a pic of the Chinqua-Penn plantation that I took on one of our rides:




And on another of our rides, we passed this house...made entirely of rocks!


There is WAY more history, but this is the stuff extremely local to me that I see daily. I'm also sure I'm forgetting some majorly important places as well.
