’ve been asked what my favorite PA destination is more times than I can count. And, I can never name just one location. From the overlook at Jakes Rocks and the waterfalls at Ricketts Glen to the scenic Laurel Highlands and picturesque Bucks County, every corner of Pennsylvania has postcard-worthy views.

Whether you love, hate, or simply tolerate social media, it’s hard not to be impressed by some of the incredible photography on Instagram. I’m consistently inspired by photos that are shared with Where & When by those who follow us.

Some are professional photographers, and others are weekend adventurers. All I know is that it makes me appreciate Pennsylvania’s beauty, history, and culture even more.

So, I asked a handful of Instagram curators to share their favorite PA destinations.

You’ll find photos of their favorites throughout this issue. Just look for the Instagram curator badge. And be sure to check them out on social media for Pennsylvania travel inspiration.

There are places in Pennsylvania that may not have the most sweeping views or spectacular landscapes, but they are the heart of the Commonwealth.

They are our small towns, where football on autumn nights and falling leaves on the sidewalks are a familiar and welcome sight. So for me, today at least, my favorite place is my hometown.

Wendy Royal Fall on Main Street, Lititz

The photo above shows Shawn’s favorite view overlooking Pine Creek in the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon.

“I am most thankful for the Pine Creek Valley as a whole because this is the area where I fell in love with the outdoors - kayaking, hiking and camping,” remarked Shawn Grenninger.

Shawn is a photographer and outdoor enthusiast whose photography may look familiar to anyone who saw the Fall 2021 issue of Where & When Pennsylvania.

By Rick Hiduk A horse-drawn covered wagon is perhaps the easiest way to view elk on the 245 acres managed by the Keystone Elk Country Alliance near Benezette in Elk County.

Benezette in Elk County has established itself as the “Elk Capitol of Pennsylvania.” Nearly 1,400 elk roaming 3,000 square miles in more than six counties draw hundreds of thousands of naturalists, hunters and the curious to the region every year. At Benezette, the Elk Country Visitor Center was established by the Keystone Elk Country Alliance (KECA) to benefit the future of Elk Country and provide guests with an up-close look at the majestic, timid creatures.

Elk once roamed the mountains of the eastern United States from New York to Georgia. Westward advancement of European settlers greatly reduced the herds, and the last of the wild elk disappeared from Elk and Cameron counties in the 1860s. The Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) slowly reintroduced transported Rocky Mountain elk to several north central counties between 1912 and 1915, and their numbers grew rapidly.

Farmers were not fans of the elk, as

their sheer size and voracious appetites could destroy a cornfield in just one night.

To ease the burden on farmers, the PGC authorized legal hunts of bull elk from 1923 to 1931. The hunts proved too popular, and the elk were all but eradicated once more, with fewer than 50 remaining in Elk and Cameron counties. Luckily, they were appreciated there.

According to a history of elk in Pennsylvania posted on the PGC website, “People were flocking to wherever elk could be found to take pictures and feed them. Visiting hunters were also enamored by the elk, the sight of which widened the eyes and quickened the blood.”

So it was fitting that Benezette would be the focus of the KECA’s revitalization efforts.

A renewed desire by people to explore open spaces during the COVID pandemic made the Elk Country Visitor Center a very popular destination, with attendance reaching upwards of 480,000

people annually. The venue is a partner- the elk is a priority for both PGC and the ship between the KECA and the Penn- KECA, and the PGC developed a simple sylvania Department of Conservation Elk Smart program geared toward “Keepand Natural Resources, and it features ing PA Elk Wild.” Signage in viewing ara multi-sensory 4-D theater, interactive eas reads “Give Elk Space – at least 100 exhibits, a gift shop, and gravel walking yards; Never Feed Elk – it’s dangerous paths from which guests can safely view and illegal; Don’t Name Elk – let wild be the elk.

In Benezette, visitors will find the Honor Walkway lined with Civil War, Veterans, and Boy Scout memorials. Nearby are the Quehanna Wild Area and Marion Brooks Natural Area. The week of Oct. 18 is considered the average peak season for fall foliage in

PA, but leaves begin changing color earlier in Elk Country.

My name is Melissa, and I’m 33 years old. I’ve lived in northeast Pennsylvania all of my life, and I am the proud mother of 2 amazing children.

My passion for the outdoors started when I was very young. I have my parents and grandparents to thank for their weekend trips to the Poconos. As a teenager, my friends and I were always on the hunt for our next adventure. As an adult, that lust for nature continues and only grows stronger. These days I spend my time sharing my love of nature with my family, and I consider myself fortunate enough to be able to make lasting memories that, hopefully our children will one day recreate with their families.

I chose Barbour Rock and the infamous long pine tree. You can find this view of the Pine Creek Gorge (PA Grand Canyon) along the West Rim Trail in Tioga State Forest after only a short walk.

Although the tree has fallen victim to time, the views all along the trail are gorgeous and well worth the hike. Fall, for me, is the best time to visit.

Visiting the Homestead of Conrad Weiser

Pennsylvania’s Colonial Peacemaker

C

onrad Weiser will be forever known as a peacemaker. His work as a diplomat and friend to the Native Americans living in Pennsylvania was crucial to keeping both groups safe from uprising and retaliation.

When Weiser’s family immigrated to America from Württemberg, Germany, in 1710, he was a young boy.

The family settled near Albany, New York, along with other German families. Having developed a friendly relationship with a nearby Mohawk tribe, Weiser’s father sent Conrad to live among them during the winter of 1712 to 1713. The reason isn’t apparent, but this experience would prove to be a watershed event in the young man’s life. Weiser’s time with the Native Americans was marked

by hardship. According to his writings, he was cold and hungry most of the time. During his time with the Mohawks, Weiser learned the language, customs, and struggles the native people faced as Europeans encroached on their land.

In 1720, Conrad Weiser married Anna Feg. Nine years later, Weiser, his wife, and their four children moved to the Tulpehocken Valley of Berks County, Pennsylvania. They settled on a 200-acre tract of land that was more fertile than their property in New York and where they were afforded a longer growing season.

Weiser’s vocation as an interpreter and negotiator began in 1731 when a group of Iroquois on their way to Philadelphia stopped by his home-

ad

By Wendy Royal stead. Shikellamy, the spokesman for the Iroquois, asked Weiser to be a translator for them at a conference they were attending. Shikellamy had heard of Weiser’s ability to speak the Iroquois’ language, and he was looking for someone who spoke both languages. Weiser accepted the request, which would forever change relations between Native Americans and the Pennsylvania settlers. Together, Weiser, Shikellamy, and James Logan, provincial secretary of Pennsylvania and advisor to the William Penn family, replaced the commonwealth’s existing Native American policy with the one they drafted.

Over the years, Weiser and Shikellamy traveled to many conferences and Native American council meet-

ings together. The two became close companions as they made many trips on foot. Weiser preferred to travel in fall; spring was too wet, summer was too hot, and winter was too cold, and snow and ice made the journey arduous. In early 1737, Weiser and Shikellamy set off with a small party for the Onondaga Council in New York to settle a dispute between the Six Nations and the Catawbas. If they couldn’t reach an agreement, it was sure that the war would catch settlers in the crossfire.

Weiser didn’t want to make such a trip so early in the year, but negotiations were urgent. He set out in late February, and by April, Weiser’s body was exhausted and breaking down.

He wrote that he “... stepped aside

Weiser’s influence among the native groups began to diminish. As the French enlisted Native Americans in their fight with the British for control of North America, peace was put to the test. For the most part, the Iroquois in Pennsylvania remained neutral in the French and Indian War; other groups were not.

The Shawnee and Lenape, backed by the French, raided cabins in western PA and pushed eastward.

Weiser was appointed lieutenant colonel of the 1st Battalion Regiment. He was responsible for overseeing the construction of several forts used to hold garrisons of troops and families that fled their homes.

Weiser’s life is an example of how you can take a bad situation and use it for good. Spending that miserable winter with the Mohawks could have made him resentful, but instead, he devoted his life in service to them and the settlers.

Today, the Conrad Weiser Homestead and Memorial Park is administered by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission in partnership with the Friends of the Conrad Weiser Homestead. You can tour several points of interest on the property, including the Conrad Weiser House, Weiser’s gravesite, the Conrad Weiser Monument, the Shikellamy Statue, and the visitor center.

As you approach the homestead, you will drive through Memorial Park, which is great for picnicking, walking, or just enjoying the bucolic surroundings. A packed lunch is a great way to wrap up your visit. If you’re bringing kids, a picnic can provide a relaxing time to discuss the importance of Weiser’s work and how it can be applied to difficult situations in their lives.

I feel so lucky to have not one, but two real castles just a few minutes away from home built by Henry Mercer in the very early 1900s. To me, they are the crown jewel of Bucks County, and I never pass up an opportunity to photograph these castles throughout the changing seasons every year. An absolute must-visit destination in Southeastern Pennsylvania!”
