Most of this is going to be in books and not on the internet but there are some decent internet sources.

Wiki isn't bad for a team by team search and sometimes stadium pictures.
Retrosheet is a great resource for any period. The 1878 Season

Baseball History: 19th Century Baseball Some good background info.

1920 Minor League Baseball League Encyclopedia - Baseball-Reference.com
Starts with the NL but has a lot of good info on teams. This is very hard to find on baseball reference so I linked to 1920 you have to press previous years a few times to get to 1876!

League Operating Rules
This one is from LGO. A lot of info on rules over time. Some is very hard to implement in the game.

19th Century Baseball [Archive] - Baseball Fever
Forum for 19th century baseball discussion so interesting stuff here.

The Directory of Major League Years
Quick year links on retrosheet.

The Economic History of Major League Baseball | Economic History Services
Some economic history less specific but it is written by an economist rather than a historian which is a plus.

ORIGINAL BASEBALL RESEARCH
Several articles by a SABR guy some 19th century some not.
