Pennsylvania has plenty to do and see for the history buff—the site of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, the site of the Battle of Gettysburg, and Pennsylvania Dutch Country. The present and future aren't forgotten, however; the Franklin Institute Science Museum teaches visitors about science, astronomy, computers, and geography. In Pittsburgh, Carnegie-Mellon University and its cultural complex play host to galleries and musical performances that will delight any arts aficionado. The Pocono Mountains and Allegheny National Forest make it easy to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the outdoors, with fishing, horseback riding, hiking trails, and ski resorts all over the state.
