Thursday, June 25, 2009: This was the first time I've ever been to the Pennsylvania state capital and the State Museum of PA, 300 North St., Harrisburg (717-787-4980). Except for Gettysburg National Battlefield, this museum is the most visited in PA between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. I felt pleasantly surprised as I toured the different floors, starting at the top floor. This museum covered the history of PA from the time of the formation of the Earth to the present via texts, pictures, and exhibit items as well as dioramas, tableaus, and multi-media presentations. Thus, I learned about PA's natural resources in animals, plants, and minerals as well as its Human history from the time of the local Native Americans to the current diverse ethnic groups of people. The State Museum of PA has been a definite must-see place.
