I agree. So much history. We used to laugh about the fact that George Washington must have slept in every historic house within a 100 mi radius of NYC. That guy really got around.
I would have to go with Boston or New York City around here. Boston's an obvious answer for all of the reasons above, but it's not just Boston. Outside Boston, Salem, Plymouth, Lexington, Concord, New Bedford, etc ALL have incredible amounts of history (much of it completely unrelated to the Revolution).
I think any major city on the East Coast (Boston, NY, Philadelphia, Baltimore, DC) would be spectacular on this front. There's countless historical, cultural and scenic attractions for a weekend trip near all of them.

Philadelphia and Boston area. I would love to go back to Salem. I went there as a kid and loved it, so I would probably find it more interesting nowadays.
To Philly, NYC, Boston, and SF add DC and LA (although depending on what part of LA it takes a long time to get out of the metro area; still, there's the mountains, the beach towns, the desert, etc.). Wilmington, DE is a smaller city, but it's within easy daytrip distance of NYC, DC, Philadelphia, plus lots of rural/small town areas, including those in PA, the beach towns of NJ and DE, etc.
Los Angeles has Santa Barbara and associated wine country to the north, Palm Springs and the desert to the east, San Diego to the south, and Catalina Island to the west. LA also has numerous towns in Orange County (Laguna, Newport, Huntington, Anaheim, etc...) as well as within LA County (Pasadena, Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Long Beach, etc...).
