Have you ever visited a museum or historical site that was REALLY emotional, good or bad?

98. Tuol Sleng, which was a Khmer Rouge interrogation and torture center in Phnom Penh

About 22,000 people were sent there, and there were seven known survivors. Absolutely chilling.

I'll also add Little Big Horn. The valley, where the Sioux and Cheyenne were camped, has changed a great deal - highway, rail line, and of course the river itself has shifted around for 150 years now. But up on the hills, where Custer's battalion was wiped out, almost nothing's changed. And when you're there, you really understand how he ended up as he did - rolling hills, and steep ravines that make it almost impossible to see the whole battlefield.

We were heading back to our car at Weir Point, and a cowboy came over one of the neighboring hills, driving a herd of horses. The rumble of hooves and cloud of dust absolutely made me shiver, and it was about 95 in the shade that day.
