Interactive US timeline
An interactive timeline from 1773 to 1997. A simple, low clutter graphic with links to information about every president and major events in US history.

A rich and extensive resource-- to give a better idea of the extent of the site, there are 92 links within the site related to Ancient Greece and 123 related to European Art in Renais
