| Pennsylvania Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Liberty Bell Liberty Bell Joseph Hollick Since Pennsylvania started out as William Penn's 'Holy Experiment', the state has had a proud history of support for democratic values. The 'city of brotherly love', Philadelphia was the birthplace of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Pennsylvania was the first capitol of the United States. The state gained the nickname 'the Keystone State' due to its key position amongst America's first 13 states. Gettysburg was the site of one of the most decisive (and bloodiest) battles of the Civil War. Pennsylvania has a total area of 45,308 milesē (72,916kmē) and is bordered by the states of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, and Ohio. The state, with a population of approximately 12,100,000, has its capital in Harrisburg, while its major cities are historic Philadelphia and the steel city, Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania is also famous as the home of the Pennsylvania Dutch, such as the Amish and Mennonite sects, whose lifestyles have changed little since they settled in the fertile rural areas in the 18th century. For the visitor, Pennsylvania's landscape is one of hills, plateaus, ridges, valleys, rivers and lakes, which makes for glorious natural attractions, such as the vast Allegheny National Forest and the Pocono Mountains. In western Pennsylvania about an hour's drive from Pittsburg in the Laurel Highlands are located two of Frank Lloyd Wright's houses, Fallingwater (his masterpiece) and Kentuck Knob (a stunning mid-1950's Usonian home). These two homes are only 7 miles apart. Allow a day to view these buildings but make reservations beforehand as the tours book up quickly. ______Sights Edit This There are many areas in Pennsylvania that are worth while visiting that are not mention in most travel brochures. This places are mostly in the central part of the state. My home state has many State Parks. The ones that I go to all the time are Cowans Gap State Park which is off of Rt 75 outside of Ft Loudon. The other State Park is Trough Creek State Park which is off Rt 26. Trough Creek State Park is in the ridges off of Lake Raystown which is a boaters paradise. This is just east of Altoona, which is also a town worth while visiting. Altoona's claim to fame is the Horseshoe Curve which is a major Rail Road line heading from the East to the West. Huntingdon County in South Central Pennsylvania is a motorcyclist paradise. There are many back roads to explore on a motorcycle or car. In the southern park of Huntingdon County off RT 522 is the East Broad Top R/R. This is a narrow guage Steam R/R at Orbisonia and Rock Hill. Another route to travel that is scenic is route 6 which runs across the top of Pennsylvania. It parallels the Susquehanna River through beautiful mountains and valleys, passing through various ports and points of historic interest. |
