I'd go to the 1840's and stay in my home town. I'd compare the area with present times. There would also be a back woods lawyer that frequents the town to work and visit his dad and step mom that went by Abe Lincoln.

1536 - Anne Boleyn is one of the most interesting people that I know of in history. I would love to have the chance to see if she was really as bad as books have said she was and if her beheading was warranted.

I'd go back to three days after Jesus 'supposedly' rose from the dead. It would certainly answer a lot of questions.

A good tour through many many centuries might be a good idea! Very exciting thought: thank you for the idea!

I would go into the future and see if my family was there like my great great great great great great great great great great grandson or daughter... Then I would steal something and claim I invented it when I got back to the present time and become rich and famous! Yeah

I would visit the future by myself, travel back to the present with new inventions, pick up my girlfriend and my mom, travel to about 1900 with futuristic gear, change the course of black slavery, and go back to the present to see how much we've changed.
