An Abundance of Heritage and History Along PA Route 6!

Officially known as the PA Route 6 Heritage Corridor, our historic highway is bursting with opportunities to learn about and immerse yourself in the rich heritage of Pennsylvania and the nation. You can go anywhere and learn about that location’s history, but chances are you won’t find an area with more historic firsts, including the first underground mine, the first steam locomotive, the Great Lakes’ first lighthouse, and the first billion-dollar oil field! Whatever your interest, you’re sure to learn something new.
