What to do and see in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (PA): The Best Shopping
Nestled in the fertile Susquehanna Valley, Harrisburg has played a pivotal role in the shaping of American history, both as a major link in rail and water transportation and as the setting of major Civil War battles. Having bounced back from economic distress in the 1980s, the city is now a vibrant hub of family activities, from cruises along the Susquehanna to arcades and athletics on City Island. The annual Pennsylvania Farm Show is the largest indoor agriculture exposition in the U.S.

This large, welcoming bookstore is well stocked with all the latest books as well as a large collection of used books on all topics. The children’s section, the art books, the history books, and the fiction are some of my favorites. They host talks by current authors, sell coffee and yummy snacks. You can curl up in any number of comfy armchairs and spend a few golden hours. Not to miss! Oh, and it’s the mayor’s business. How cool is that?!

This is a great place to go for produce or lunch. One part of the market is all food stalls featuring fresh food from all over the world. It is very close to the Susquehanna Art Museum and across the street from the great bookstore, Midtown Scholar. Highly recommend.

This is my 2nd time to order from Keystone Candle Co. I am so totally happy with everything about my experience with them. My first order was the Large 64 in jar candles ... they were wonderful & burned all the way down to the bottom of the jar with the sent from the start to the end. Then I ordered 2 pies on my second order. When I called with a concern about one of my pies the immediately shipped me out a new one. Their Candles are Wonderful & there Customer Service Can't be Beat. Looking forward to doing business with them again in the future.
