"Pennsylvania's Historic Places is a book which would make a great addition to anyone's collection. Its historical essays and beautiful photographs depict much of Pennsylvania's past and include the unique areas of interest in our state which would appeal to visitors from all areas. The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission has done a remarkable job in capturing Pennsylvania's rich heritage and preserving it in this beautiful and informative publication." -- Joe Paterno, Penn State University

"The book reminded me again that ours is a state rich in history and in natural beauty. The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission is to be commended for capturing so much of Pennsylvania in a single book." -- Lee A. Iacocca, Chrysler Corporation

"The story of Pennsylvania -- as showcased by its many historic sites and museums -- is compelling because it stirs the imagination. Pennsylvania's Historic Places captures the enduring presence of a rich past and serves as a reminder that the story of this Keystone State is also the saga of a nation." -- Brent D. Glass, Executive Director, Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission

"Unlike most other similar picture/text books extolling the tourist treasures of the Commonwealth, the writing of this one is historically accurate." -- Bookends
