Monticello
"Jefferson’s first use of the name "Monticello" for his Virginia plantation appears in his August 3, 1767 Garden Book entry: "inoculated common cherry buds into stocks of large kind at Monticello." In 1809, Jefferson retired from politics and returned to Monticello for a life of family, reading, writing, farming, entertaining, science and philanthropy. What was life like back then? Find out by joining Jefferson on a typical (but virtual) Monticello day. Be sure to also visit Matters of Fact, where you’ll find "Getting Word," an online exhibit exploring the oral history of the Monticello slaves, and a variety of lesson plans."

Mayflower Web
"The Mayflower was first recorded in 1609. In her early years she transported tar, lumber and fish. Some years later, she worked in Mediterranean wine and spice trading. In 1620, Thomas Weston hired the Mayflower and the Speedwell to undertake a voyage to the New World. The Speedwell, however, turned out to be leaky, so the Mayflower made her historic voyage alone. The Mayflower Web is a culmination of thousands of hours of research and has something for everyone: students, teachers, historians and genealogists. The author, Caleb Johnson, is a history student and genealogy buff whose ancestry includes nine Mayflower passengers."

Liberty! The American Revolution
""It’s 1763. You’re a basically happy, content colonist in North America. British and proud of it. The French and Indian War has just ended. Peace reigns on the continent. What did Great Britain create, in 1765, that put you on The Road to Revolution?" So begins the interactive game that puts you in the middle of the revolutionary action. Other fabulous clicks are Perspectives on Liberty (a clickable view of daily colonial life) and Liberty Today (a photo montage of newly naturalized citizens.)"
