Here, two other places where your family can travel to an earlier era—and stay the night:
Civil War buffs shoulder 10-pound muskets, march in formation, eat hardtack, sleep in a tent, and otherwise live the life of 19th-century soldiers—Union or Confederate—at the 422-acre park on one of the war’s key battlefields.
Petersburg, Va.; 804/861-2408; civilwaradventurecamp.org; rally camps $70 per person, ages 8 and up.
Move into a 17th-century house and pretend you’re British colonists at this re-created Pilgrim village—or camp out at the museum’s Wampanoag Indian site.
Plymouth, Mass.; 508/746-1622; plimoth.org. Colonial program, $600 for a six-person house; Wampanoag program, $100 per person; both options include meals and costumes.
