Best Historic Minor League Parks?

Fellow ballpark chasers & minor league enthusiasts,

I am new to the site. I apologize if this topic belongs in another thread.

But I am seeking recommendations for noteworthy historic minor league ballparks throughout the country.  I will be taking a ballpark tour next year including minor leagues, but I don't want to stop at just any stadium. I'm interested in some of the older ones. I would be particularly interested the northeast, but all over the country as well. I have been to Centennial Field in Burlington and thought it was fantastic.

In recent years I have traveled to a few of the newer minor league stadiums. With some exceptions, I found it's not entirely worth the time. But when I find the right stadium, it makes it all worth it in the end. Thanks for your responses.

    In 2016 I will be back east and hope to see games potentially in Williamsport, Hagerstown, Lynchburg, Savannah. All on this classic stadiums list.

      Joseph, the Sand Gnats are moving to South Carolina for the 2016 season to become the Columbia Fireflies, but when I was there last summer, one of the fans was telling me Savannah will have a team in the Coastal Plains League. You may want to check their schedule to see when they play.

        Mark, I'm rather disappointed to learn that the sand gnats are on the way out as I was looking see them this year. But thanks for the news nevertheless. All the old ballparks of the minor leagues are dying off.
