Pennsylvania is a state in the northeastern of USA and it was nicknamed as the Keystone state, because it was located in the center among the original “Thirteen Colonies” which were the states of British America in 1783. OK nevermind the boring history fact.. Hershey’s chocolate is originated from here! Hershey was originally named Derry Church, Pennsylvania. It was renamed Hershey in 1906 because of its growing popularity of the yummy chocolate! Hmm but I don’t have a postcard from Hershey.. yet. Oh and if you must know, Philadelphia used to be the capital of the United States between 1790 and 1800.
From Rissyrissy. I don’t have information on the card about where in Pennsylvania is this country view with cornfield is located.. but look at the balloons!! This is surely a lovely postcard that Rissy sent me for my 24th birthday! :D
From Zmrzlina. This is the Fort Roberdeau, which was constructed in 1778, under General Daniel Ruoberdeau’s supervision and sits on 47 acres near Altoona. It’s also known as the “Lead Mine Fort” as it protected mining operations for the Continental Army during the Revolutionary war. Well nowadays people like forts as there are usually places to picnic :)
From Krhocevar. After the country views, now comes the big city. Pittsburgh is the second largest city in Pennsylvania. And this is the Golden Triangle where the Allegheny and Monogahela Rivers meet to form the Ohio River, hence the largest inland port in the US! There are over 700 bridges crossing these rivers and valleys. I always love waterfront cities like this.. especially on this postcard with the reflection of those buildings in the water! And look at the fountain! Pretty, isn’t it?
