I'm about to run out of energy for the evening so I wanted to mention a few historic places for you to check out on the internet.
1. The House on the Rock in Spring Green, Wisconsin. It's not 18th or 19th century historic but it is historic.
2. Mathias Ham House in Dubuque, Iowa
3. Sauder Village in Archbold, Ohio. This is a historic village.
4. Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. This is a much larger operating historic village compared to Sauder Village and they actually farm the way our pioneer ancestors did. The Firestone Farm House is located here and it's a working farm with animals, crops and the workers cure the meat and cook in the kitchen. They also have Model T's to ride in and real steam trains.
If you ever decide to visit I would take at least 2 days because the Henry Ford Museum is associated with Greenfield Village but a separate museum all together.
