Destinations in Pennsylvania
Allentown (Poconos), PAEuropeans began settling here in the 1740s, and by the 1820s tourism was an important part of their economy. Visitors once ventured here only in the summer, mostly on trains out of New York City and Philadelphia, but that changed with the advent of the horseless carriage, super highways, and air travel. Now people hop in their cars and in less than two hours from New York City and Philadelphia, they arrive in a North American Garden of Eden.
Philadelphia/Harrisburg, PAOriginally laid out by William Penn, Philadelphia embodies America's "melting pot" culture. In addition to its cultural diversity, the "City of Brotherly Love" blends historical tradition with modern vitality, making it a showcase for the best of our country's past and present. The original settlement occupied the land between the Delaware and Schuykill Rivers, and was the birthplace of American government. It even served as the nation's capital from Independence until 1800, and is peppered with reminders of its historical significance, from the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall to Edgar Allan Poe's house. Tours on Victorian-style trolleys highlight the significant sights, and actors from the Town Crier Summer Theater perform "playlets" in the streets of the old city district.
