places to see when visiting Pennsylvania.
Alaska Native Heritage Center
Fonthill Castle and the Moravian Tile Works - Doylestown
This national historic landmark was the home of Henry Chapman Mercer
(1856-1930), an eccentric intellectual well-versed in history, pottery,
and tile-making. He built his 44-room “American Castle” in the early
1900s. Many of the tiles and mosaics in the Pennsylvania State Capitol
were made at the nearby Moravian Tile Works, also designed and built by
Mercer.
The Johnstown Flood Museum - Johnstown
The town of Johnstown was devastated and thousands of its residents were
killed on May 31, 1889 when a neglected dam and a terrible storm led to
one of the worst tragedies in Pennsylvania history. The Flood Museum
graphically displays this event through numerous artifacts, exhibits, an
Academy Award-winning film documentary, and a 3-D multi-media
presentation.
Carnegie Science Center - Pittsburgh
The Exploration Station on the 4th floor of this amazing museum is a
hands-on, activity filled series of exhibits tailored for grades 2 - 12.
Visitors can launch an air-rocket, play a laser harp, and create their own
video animation. A collection of animals representing different parts of
the world includes Madagascar hissing cockroaches and giant black
millipedes from Africa. All are exhibited in simulated natural habitats.
Wander through the other floors of the museum and discover how much fun
science can be.
Independence National Historic Park - Philadelphia
Located in Center City Philadelphia, the Park includes many sites that
illustrate the birth of our nation. Visit Independence Hall where the
Declaration of Independence and Constitution were created. See the Liberty
Bell and the area where Benjamin Franklin’s home once stood.

Take a tour an actual anthracite coal mine 300 feet below the surface of
the earth and learn about the deep mining process from an experience
