Pennsylvania Curiosities

by Clark DeLeon

Overview

The Liberty Bell, Gettysburg, and Independence Hall may stand out as prominent Pennsylvania features, but the Keystone State is also home to bizarre places, personalities, events, and phenomena.  These unique and quirky aspects are humorously displayed in Pennsylvania Curiosities, a cross between a wacky news gazette, an almanac, and a humorous travel guide.
