Lets Get Away From It All In Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania means “Penn’s Woodland,” and if the suggestion of staying in a quiet Pennsylvania cabin rental in wooded hill country seems romantic to you, then a vacation in the Keystone State is for you. But there is a great deal more to this historic and charming vicinity than the lush rural countryside.
In fact, the best destination to start your tour of Pennsylvania might be to visit Philadelphia, long known as the gateway of the state. At the Independence Visitor Center, you can get started scheduling your exploration of the city and by browsing their web page. Here, accommodating people can tell you about Philadelphia’s countless historical sites, cultural institutions, tours and activities during the year. You can additionally get complimentary or discounted passes to ride several of the city’s mass transportation facilities.
One of Pennsylvania’s great attractions is the Pennsylvania Dutch Country, which you experience almost as soon as you start heading west out of Philadelphia. By the way, “Dutch” does not denote these individuals are from the Netherlands. The word is a corruption of deutsche, denoting “German.” They are Old Order Amish and Mennonites whose ancestors came from Southern Germany and Switzerland more than 300 years ago and they have been very successful at preserving their traditional way of life.
From the bed breakfasts in Lancaster, you can discover their villages as well as purchase their wares and produce for sale and see first hand how farms operated before the 20th Century. While you are in Lancaster, you might check out the Mennonite Information Center to get familiarized. By the way, if a person says “You look plain, English,” smile and reply “Thank You,” as it is a compliment.
Moving west, you will come to Gettysburg, where the only battle of the American Civil War to be had north of the Mason-Dixon was fought. Historic lodges and recreations, including ghost tours, are well-known interests here. The official complete guidebook to tours of Gettysburg, that include cabin rentals and other lodging facilities, is an Internet site known as “Gettysburg Address”.
One of the more interesting movements in travel these days is agritourism, where guests stay, study and even help on an actual working farm. Butler County is not only one of the state’s most picturesque places, it is also the bread winner of the state and host to large fairs and even wineries. Found in the magnificent Alleghenies, Butler County may be the high point of your Pennsylvania vacation.
