Traveling to Pennsylvania
|
| Pennsylvania was dubbed the Keystone State because of geography:
It lay between five other former colonies in the newly formed
U.S. and seemed to physically lock the country together. But its
nickname could equally apply to Pennsylvania's key role in the
history and development of the U.S., from colonial times to the
present. Appropriately, history is what draws many travelers to
the state nowadays. At Valley Forge where the Continental Army
weathered a tough winter and formed the fighting unit that would
win the country's independence. Don't miss the tour at Gettysburg
grounds where perhaps the most important battle in the nation's
history was waged. Also Scranton is a must-see and gives a
better understanding of the industrial capabilities that helped
make the U.S. a world power. The mountains create beautiful
vistas and play host to the resort playground of the Poconos and
the outdoor activities of the Laurel Highlands. Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh provide big-city cultural and entertainment
possibilities, and rural getaways like Bucks County and the
Brandywine Valley mix scenic countryside with affluent living.
