Continuing with our current theme on places to travel we plan on peering into Pennslyvania and, in particular, the city of Gettysburg.
Unlike the other states we have surveyed, Pennslyvania does not have much of a coastline. It does, however, have 56 cities including Philadelphia (population: 1,547,297) and Pittsburgh (population: 311,647). It is also the home of Scranton -- the setting of the hit NBC sitcom The Office.
What many people think about when they think about Pennsylvania is Gettysburg: the home of one of the bloodiest battles in America's history. The Battle of Gettysburg is considered by historians to be the turning point of the Civil War and there are many places commorating this battle.
Gettysburg National Military Park is located in Adams County, Pennslyvania.
