Though I hasten to admit, reproductions are <i>awesome</i> and when I visited Williamsburg there was nothing I wanted more than one of those dresses for my very own. I think they help make a connection to the modern day, too - there's a line in a book called <i>Time and Again</i> where they bring out a replica of an 1880s gown, and the character is asked if he can see the woman in the dress. "See her, hell! I can see her dancing!" he exclaims. So...yeah. :) Haha– quite true!

I think it depends who you are, though. I'd be willing to bet most kids would take Williamsburg or a replication that they can play with. Those of us interested in history often forget, not everyone thinks old stuff is inherently cool. Good post. I think it depends who you are, though.
