Electric City Trolley Museum, Scranton UPSTATE PA Majestic, endless mountains that fade into the distance and the deep-blue Susquehanna River define the landscape. Overlooks abound. Covered bridges and behemoth mansions are reminders of the region’s storied past. Rebirth is well underway in places that were former industrial centers, and their old buildings are finding new lives as museums, colleges, and hotels. Color and creativity bloom in small-town art galleries, historic cultural centers, and grand theaters. Explore wineries and breweries, and take in the charms of quaint towns.
