On This Day: Today's Highlights in History

http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/ 

Today's site, from the New York Times Learning Network, offers an
interesting historical diversion, culled from the pages of its
newspaper archives. Readers will find an informative and nicely
presented window on the past.

"[V]isitors can ... take a look back at a historic New York Times
front page, current and historic birthdays and historic editorial
cartoons in the On This Day section." - from the website

This single web page provides the top story for this day in
history from the New York Times front page, along with a list of
historical events which also took place. An enlarged image of the
front page and a transcript of the article are linked to the
highlighted event. The always popular "who's celebrating a
birthday" feature includes well-known figures, past and present,
from a variety of fields.
