Evolt.org has a great archive of past browsers: http://browsers.evolt.org/

The oldest Mosaic browser they have for download seems to be NCSA's 0.6beta.
These old browsers provide an interesting frame for the current web. Websites
tailored to version 3 and 4 browsers don't really work in the first generation
webbrowsers anymore, whereas websites using the latest CSS and XHTML tend to
work generally work pretty okay.
