Weekend Getaways in Pennsylvania: 2nd Edition

By Bill Simpson and Simpson Bill

Book Overview

With activities ranging from antiquing to whitewater rafting, Pennsylvania has something to offer everyone. There are so many activities in so many towns that it 1/2s difficult to know where to begin . . . unless you happen to have a copy of Weekend Getaways in Pennsylvania.

This indispensable, completely updated guide classifies each destination into one or more of seven categories: Arts Antiques; History; Nature; Pure Tourism--wandering with a camera; Recreation; Rest and Relaxation; and Shopping. Now, you can choose your weekend getaway based on not only where you want to go, but also on what you want to do when you get there.

Each listing includes contact information for dining, lodging, and sightseeing, as well as a schedule of annual events. No destination, no matter how small, has eluded author Bill Simpson in his thorough search of the Keystone State--not even Eagles Mere, "the town that time forgot, with its population of 123" and its absence of traffic signals.

I wanted to find some close places to take my family. This book provides some great ideas about places in my home state I had never thought about. We have a trip to Coudersport planned. The book is well written and easy to use. I've given it to several friends who also enjoyed using it.
