San Francisco in 1849 was probably interesting.

The building of a pyramid.

I say we go to Calvary and the the Tomb three days later and settle it. :)

Barring that, here are my off the cuff wishes:

Gettysburg Address.

Apollo 11 (from behind a hill at Tranquility).

Titanic leaving the dock at Cove, Ireland.

Signing of Magna Carta and Declaration of Independence.

Napoleon at Waterloo.

Churchill’s “Never give up” speech

“I Have a Dream”

Discovery of Penicillin

Supernova of 1054

Sacking of Rome

I could go on.

That’s even ignoring all the ones set in the future (how would you even know when to travel to?).

Even with a time machine, how exactly are you going to find the very first controlled use of fire by early humans?

And I’m with Lazarus Long on this one. No battles.

What about visiting the library at Alexandria, or watching the first pages roll off Gutenberg’s press?

I was too young and in the wrong country when it happened. Actually, I’m still in the wrong country…
