When I was growing up my friends were reading romance novels.....I was reading Hollywood biographies and going to silent movies on Sundays at a local college theater.
Hmm I wonder what this says about me? Why didn't I choose to go back and hear Lincoln give the Gettysburg address? Or meet Jesus? Or cross the Atlantic with Columbus? lol (could I be shallow?? :))

I would love to step into Little House on the Praire time, to 'visit' for a week or so! I've been to Cades Cove (in the Smokeys) twice, and it's not been enough! lol!!!
My DH knows I just love going in the cabins there, and just sitting, imagining the people who used to live in them....

The late 1800s America for me! I love the thought of the frontier being open and unknown, Imagine going with Louis & Clark to the Pacific,Heading to California for the gold rush , or packing up your family and making a fresh start in the west!

Either the time of Jesus or the early to middle 1700s in America with the Jonathan Edwards Revival and meet my ancestors in New England. have a whole town settled by my father's side of the family. Think it'd be fun to meet them.

I had thought about saying I'd like to visit the time of Moses, see the plagues, see the Red Sea part, hear him when he comes down from the mountain with the Ten Commandments... but I'm sure the reality was nothing like the Cecil B. DeMille movie. I'd still be fascinated, it's still one of my Top Ten choices, but not in the top three.
