Have you always dreamed of visiting a beautiful historical city which is full of adventure? If yes, then Harrisburg is the best place to go! Harrisburg is the capital city of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and it played an important role in the American Civil War and the Industrial Revolution. Signs of the Harrisburg's history are all over the city, so make sure to explore the downtown area to see the famous landmarks and buildings. Even before the early 1700s when settlers founded the city, Harrisburg was long before inhabited by Native Americans. Interestingly, researchers found over 3000 years old artifacts here. Harrisburg sits on the Susquehanna River bed, so there are great outdoor activities on the coast as well.
