Art Trails

A begining compilation of art trails. This first one deals
with Route 76, better known as the Turnpike in PA. It is
not perfect as the actual turnpike is made from different
routes but the point is - all of this stuff is easy driving.

around and find them for yourself. Rocky stood on the steps of the art museum.

This list was greatly helped by researching the following Websites:
The PA Turnpike Commission's web site
Artcyclopedia
Pennsylvainia’s Trail of History from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission’s website
you can see a lot of these places are already mapped along or near the Turnpike.
Philadelphia's Historic District What a fabulous website this is dealing with Philly’s history.
