I have been able to look at the 1880 census from familysearch.org, but I want to look at more. Where can I find a website to look at these for free?

There is no website that offers the other censuses for free. Ancestry.com is the best option to look at all the censuses but of course to subscribe. Sometimes there are free trials when you could use it for 14 days or so for free and try to look at all the censuses you need.
Another option is that there are some websites where people will do free lookups, but you can't expect too much.
If you really do not want to pay, you could order the microfilm at a local LDS Family History Center, but microfilm is not nearly as easy as a website, especially when it's indexed.
Good luck,
Dave

My library has on-line access to Heritage Quest. I just type in my card number, and I can get the census results.
Remember, it takes 72 years for a census to become public, so there's nothing available after 1930 right now.

A genealogy library or if you public library has a genealogical section they might have them.
Ancestry.Com has them but they are not free.
Sometimes a genweb might have census records.
Just put in the state like GeorgiaGenweb and look up the county. Sometimes they do but most of the time they don't

Some States' library systems subscribe to HeritageQuest Online which has most of the censuses indexed by their reading of heads of household. Contact the librarian at your local library to ask. Those allow you to login at home.
Another option may be through your nearest LDS Family History Center.

Here are a few sites that may help... None of them have the complete census, but it is definitely a place to start. Transcription of the U.S. census is usually done by very nice volunteers.
http://www.censusfinder.com/

You might also try the genweb page of the county you are searching in. Some counties genealogy societies have transcribed them for their counties.

I agree with Granny go to your local library and they usually have ancestry.com for free at least Census Reports also some library have Heritage quest which can be helpful for its census reports its bulky and slow but I have found helpful.

heritagequest is free. You can normally access it from your library's homepage with your library card. It has all the census reports except 1890 which was lost to fire

try the US census bureau and perhaps try your local library or recorder's office.
