REGIONS Valleys of the Susquehanna Verdant rolling countryside leads the way to mom-and-pop farmers markets, antique shops, artist studios off the beaten path, and romantic covered bridges. Waterfalls, riverbanks, and forests beckon to be explored by foot—or enjoyed with a picnic on a relaxing summer day. The history lives on in quaint historic districts, unique museums, and preserved homes. Revisit timeless pleasures here: riding a carousel, traveling by train, and leisurely pedaling a bicycle.
