Visitors Guide - Schuylkill County Visitors Bureau

Transcription

Schuylkill County is nestled
between the mountains of East Central
Pennsylvania in the coal Country
Corridor of the Schuylkill River National
& State Heritage Area, where outdoor
recreation, unique attractions,
fascinating history and a host of
exciting events abound. We are a
cultural heritage destination like no
other.
Our vast quantities of hard anthracite
coal attracted thousands of immigrants
from around the world as our region
fueled Amerian’s Industrial Revolution
during the 19th & 20th centuries.
Among these immigrants was D. G.
Yuengling, founder of America’s Oldest
Brewery. In Schuylkill county you can
enjoy traditional German lager, the wine
of 6 unique PA wineries and an eclectic
mix of traditional PA Dutch dishes along
with traditional eastern European
cuisine. Real food and drink for real
travelers looking for that original
heritage taste!

nation and its people? If so, then
Schuylkill County is the natural
choice for your next trip!
Packed with natural and scenic
parks, cultural events, festivals,

ethnic foods and beverages,
Schuylkill County is an American
Original!
Initially settled by the Lenape tribe
and early Dutch settlers, Schuylkill
County quickly became a magnet for
German, Irish, English, Welch and a
veritable host of Eastern European
immigrants. Their shared influence,
the very essence of America, is
visible in our architecture and old
European-style churches. Our rich
mining heritage, that drew so many
immigrants to our little Pennsylvanian hamlet, was the very fuel of the
industrial revolution. This era,
earmarked with prodigious
innovations & idealism that were
traditionally expressed in both

industry and the arts, is still alive
today. Our pristine outdoors, home
of America’s precious stores of
anthracite coal, is also lush with
forest, mountains, trails and streams
making it ideal for hiking, fishing,
biking, kayaking, camping and so
much more. Whether your interests
lean toward historic attractions or
outdoor recreation, action-packed
events or cultural offerings; you’ll
find it all here in Schuylkill County.
Our unique attractions feature D.G.
Yuengling & Sons; American’s oldest
brewery, anthracite mining heritage
that fueled the industrial revolution
including the Pioneer Tunnel &
the Museum of Anthracite
Mining, Jerry’s Classic
Cars & Collectibles Museum,
walking tours, 6 outstanding
wineries, The Appalachian Trail,
the pristine nature of Hawk
Mountain and its 200 degree
panorama atop the famed North
Lookout, and the authentically
restored 1874 Tamaqua Railroad
Station.
