A Taste of Pennsylvania

Middle School Field Trip

 

Pennsylvania is arguably the most historically significant state in the United States. Known as the Keystone state, Pennsylvania is the home to very significant historical events, the most obvious being the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the Battle of Gettysburg. William Penn’s “Holy Experiment” was a model for our current governmental structure. Today Pennsylvania is a snapshot of Americana.

 

Below you can see an outline of the itinerary that our Middle School students follow on this significant four day excursion into the keystone state. Checkout the website links to the various destinations by clicking on the place you would like to visit via the virtual world of the internet.
