Pennsylvania
Kipling said it best: "If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten." Pennsylvania's history is a real page-turner.
Come re-live Washington's Crossing of the Delaware River. Tour the battlefields at Gettysburg. Lose yourself in the places and events that shaped our nation.
Pennsylvania is abundant with natural beauty and adventure. It’s all right here. It's approximately 10 miles north of Canadensis in Pike County. Looking for the World's End? That's here, too. In fact, these are just two of Pennsylvania's 117 state parks that offer a heavenly dose of family camping, swimming, biking, boating, fishing, and hiking.
But that's just the tip of the mountain. Pennsylvania's 4.5 million acres of public lands include the finest woodlands and natural areas in America. Our name itself means "Penn's Woods," and our public estate is just that—often mountainous and filled with a myriad of creatures, plants, and natural wonders. You're never more than 15 minutes away from one of our state parks, state forests, or game lands.
After the history and after the nature, it is time to relax and take in the sights and sounds of the urban centers, bustling with unique artisans, musicians, world class theatre and symphony. The museums range from quirky to traditionally fantastic and should not be missed. But then again, nothing in Pennsylvania should be.
