PBS has produced several wonderful "reality" documentaries about living in the past in America. The one I always think about around Thanksgiving is called "The Colonial House" (website link) produced in 2004, recreating with volunteers, life in America in 1628. The documentary itself is very interesting, but the website is fabulous and highly interactive with many photos & videos. I highly recommend the video diaries of the colonists for insight in to how hard life was for these 21st century time travelling indentured servants.
This extraordnary DVD is available for purchase through Amazon at Colonial House DVD.
