Anything with time-travel in it is automatically going to be considered either sci-fi or fantasy (depending on the mechanics of the time travel). This is not necessarily a bad thing, since there's much more of a short-story market for such stories than for straight historical fiction.

If do you want to avoid this categorization, however, I'd advise you to reconsider whether or not the time travel aspects are actually essential to your story.

In passing, it's worth noting that unless a time-travel story is exclusively about the future, it will necessarily mix in history.
