Overview
Mountainous, historic Pennsylvania, with its dense forests and well-plowed fields, its sophisticated urban centers and famous battlefields, is one of America's most fascinating states. Come here to relive the founding of the nation at Independence Hall. Visit Valley Forge, where George Washington's troops suffered through the cold winter of 1776-77 and the Gettysburg Battlefield, where North and South fought the bloodiest battle of the Civil War. Here you'll find variety, from the Amish farms of Lancaster County, to the Poconos resorts, the elegance of Philadelphia, and reborn Pittsburgh, one of America's most livable cities.
An intricate array of rural landscapes, city squares, and postcard-like scenes give the face of Pennsylvania an honest beauty -- no makeup and few pretensions. History and age are not hidden here, they are worn with pride.
