Visit the only museum that tells the story of America's coal-carrying canals and how they ignited America's Industrial Revolution. Experience hands-on educational exhibitions, extensive historical archives & collections, and the historic locktender's house and garden. You can also take a ride on Pennsylvania's only mule-drawn canal boat ride.

An enjoyable day trip from Philadelphia, the museum is dedicated to telling the story of the canal system in Northeastern Pennsylvania that enabled the coal and steel industries to power the industrial revolution. It is run by dedicated and very knowledgeable docents. The 45 minute, mule drawn canal boat ride is definitely the highlight. The docent running the boat filled the ride with stories of life on the canal when full families lived on the boats. The museum is small, but very informative. Unfortunately, the Lock tender's house was not open the day we were there, but we would consider a return trip. Park is beautiful with plenty of space for picnics and a full play ground for children. One warning - definitely check the website for directions. It could be difficult to find if you are not familiar with the area.

Authentic, beer-centric industrial tasting room. Not faux-industrial. Actually industrial. As in, their actual manufacturing plant. Very spacious and well ventilated. The beers? World Class strong beers, including some of the best aged strong ales you'll taste in the Delaware or Lehigh Valley. 23rd is a breathtaking strong golden stout. Also try the barleywine. Unassuming outdoor seating area that can fit dozens.

There's usually four of us that go to concerts regularly. Myself and my daughter, my sister and her daughter. Both the nutcracker and Toby Kieth were excellent shows. Had a blast. Tickets were reasonable and seats were great.

Few would know that the second reading of the Declaration of Independence took place on Center Square in Easton, PA, days after the signing, and presented on July 10, 1776. The "square" in the 20th century is now a "circle" with war and remembrance veterans monument, each year covered with the nation's largest Christmas candle and featured in a number of holiday and celebratory presentations. The mayor has served for nearly 16 years and has revitalized the Easton area with community development projects, and attracted a wide variety of sleek and trendy restaurants which capture visitors from the Pocono area, nearby Philadelphia, and even outliers from the New York City region. The historic downtown area also hails the church where General Washington quartered his troops during the Revolutionary War. Worth a visit and also consider settling-in the residential communities of College Hill (Lafayette College), Palmer Township, and the brick-faced former mansions and brownstones in downtown and Delaware riverfront sectors.
