In and around the city of Savannah in Georgia, there are seemingly endless chances to visit the past, in plantation houses and museums, and in the Cathedral of St John the Baptist - the oldest Catholic church in the whole state. Close by, you can visit the civil war era Fort Jackson, which contains a military museum. Many ghosts are said to walk the streets of historic Savannah when the sun goes down, and you can take part in an evening walk that combines copious amounts of alcohol with a spooky story and is great fun.
