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.  Includes audio, photos and other primary sources.  It's a quick overview of US history, not a comprehensive curriculum, but could be useful as jumping off point, or a quick reference.  Appropriate for upper elementary and older.
