Pennsylvania, the Keystone State, has always held a prominent position in the history of the United States. One of the original colonies and the site of the formation of the new rebel nation, here is where you will find numerous reminders of earlier times. When you get to Philadelphia, be sure to visit Independence National Historic Park and take the time to explore. Some people somewhere in the world are struggling for their freedom and setting up a new nation--this is where the struggle centered that produced our system. Pennsylvania also hosted the battle of Gettysburg, another decisive moment for this country.
Heavily populated to the east and west, Pennsylvania also contains mountain ranges, lakes, farmlands and wild areas. From the Poconos to Lake Erie, there are many choices for relaxed vacations or outdoor adventure. You might also like to include a visit to Amish country and maybe a sweet side-trip to Hershey.
