any historical sites now have websites that tell you about the location and history, and many have their own schedule of events posted on their websites. Also, many of the historical sites are on the web thanks to interested people rather than the site itself. So some of these are "unofficial" websites.

The important sites for my Ranger unit are listed on my Living History page, but here is a longer list of sites, in case you are interesting in cyber-visits to some wonderful old places.

• Colonial Michilimackinac

• Crown Point and Fort St. Frederic

• Fort de Chartres

• Fort Ligonier

• Fort at No. 4 - Living History Museum (click here for a map showing where it is and hotels/amenities; the page does take awhile to load)
