...Freedomland will cram the kiddies full of "Little Old New York" (1750-1850 style), San Francisco at the time of the Barbary Coast (with earthquake), Florida bayous (with alligators), Mississippi stern-wheelers, New England whalers, and a Civil War battle (with neither side winning and no one offended). "Cape Canaveral" will even boast a man-carrying space ship.
