If I could travel through time, I'd have to check out the Salem Witch Trials which make up, for me, the single most interesting event in history.

I was fascinated with them as a little girl and wrote a number of papers in elementary, middle, and early high school on the subject. I've read a few books about the trials, and I've attended two lectures on the historical happening.

I would just really like to be an observer to the hysteria that claimed the counties of colonial Massachusetts. To get to see it first hand, maybe even intervene--though I can't imagine how I'd manage without getting myself accused as well.
