American
history at its best can found in Pennsylvania. The birthplace of the nation of
America as we know it was at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the fifth-largest
city in the U.S. Pretty impressive, eh? Well,
add this to the mix: the small town of Gettysburg, where the Union was preserved
at the turning point of the Civil War, is also in Pennsylvania. Still not enough
history for you? Also within state boundaries is Valley Forge, where General George
Washington's troops braved bitter cold and miserable conditions in the fight for
U.S. independence. In
addition to all of its history, Pennsylvania cities offer metropolitan style with
touches of old-world charm. Philadelphia's close proximity to other large Northeastern
cities makes it a prime destination for business as well as pleasure. Philly is
full of eclectic shops, diverse restaurants and dynamic nightlife. While you're
there, take a look at the Liberty Bell, forget about that diet and try an authentic
Philly cheese steak sandwich! |
