So you are a railroad buff.

Have you been to the railroad museum in Pennsylvania?

A friend of mine went and said it was beyond wonderful.

And you are a history buff - Revolutionary War to the Civil War? I figure the war of 1812 too?

Yes, I've been to Strasburg. I took an old college buddy there in 2002 and gave him the history of almost every locomotive in the place.

Yes, the War of 1812, too.
