Pennsylvania
Like
Massachusetts,
the history of Pennsylvania is writ large in the founding of America
as a nation.
Fought over by
the Dutch, Swedes and English from its earliest days, Pennsylania was a leader
in helping to throw off British control during the American Revolution. Today,
visitors can visit memorials to Revolutionary America at Valley
Forge where General George Washington rallied troops despite a spectacularly
bad winter, and at Independence
Hall in Philadelphia where both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S.
Constitution were created (while across the street proudly sits the Liberty
Bell that first summoned citizens to the reading of the Declaration.) Pennsyvlania
was also the scene of the largest battle ever waged during the American Civil
War at Gettysburg
in 1863. Other
major vacation attractions include Pennsylvania
Dutch Country in Lancaster County, the Pocono
Mountains resort area, the Carnegie
Science Center in Pittsburgh and the
Delaware Water
Gap.
