Allentown, PA
With Allentown's fascinating past and it's rich culture today, those with a sense of history and an interest in culture are sure to find Allentown an appealing place to call home.
In 1777, Allentown played a part in the Revolutionary War, when the Liberty Bell was hidden in the town due to fears that the British might take Philadelphia. The 19th century was the heyday of Allentown, as it boomed with the rise of the steel industry. Many of the attractive brick row houses that give the city its charm were built during this period.
Today Allentown offers its residents plenty to do. There are museums, such as the Museum of Indian Culture, the Liberty Bell Shrine Museum, and the Lehigh Country Museum. The Mayfair Festival of Arts, held each May, features both visual and performing arts. There is also a symphony orchestra, as well as a civic theater that puts on several plays each year. Parks, golf courses, and an amusement park offer outdoor recreation.
Whether you're interests lie in the past or present, Allentown fits the bill. |
