Seems to me you are NOT going to the Northeast, or New England. DC is only the tip of the bottom of NE, if not also part of the Mid-Atlantic, or the southeast historically.
Anyway, if DC is your northernmost point, I would 2nd Yorktown (but DON’T go to the “Yorktown Victory Center” http://historyisfun.org/ unless you want to see a museum of ALL the Revolution; you want the visitor center for the details of the seige site http://www.nps.gov/yonb/index.htm). Not to mention the rest of the Historic Triangle with Williamsburg and Jamestown. If you don’t have alot of time, hit the REAL sites (not the historyisfun sites); if you do fine, but with a long drive I doubt you do.
Another place that’s great is the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC. Don’t be scared by the $$$$$ to get in - you’ll be shocked. We were shocked at the price - and the estate - way back when when it was much less.
Also, VA is just great. Check out some Civil War sites if you can, and also the natural features along the Shenandoah. Natural Bridge, Luray Caverns. Lots of caverns there. Really cool.
In TN, go to Lookout Mountain (CW) - on the incline railway. I’d tell you to stay at Choo-Choo Hilton but I don’t think it exists anymore even as a hotel.
That’s all for now.
