Pennsylvania's "Hidden River" - The
Schuylkill River Heritage Area
The Reading Railroad's early development centered around the Schuylkill
River - the Main Line followed the course of the River itself, and its
principal reason for existence in the earliest days was to transport coal
from the mines to the river and canal for transport by water. Thus, the
Reading Railroad Heritage Museum and the Reading Company Technical &
Historical Society are proud to support the Schuylkill
River National and State Heritage Area. Covering the entire course
of the Schuylkill River from the coal regions to Philadelphia, the Heritage
Area sponsors a variety of recreational and cultural activities to help
celebrate and preserve the history of one of Pennsylvania's great natural
resources. Visit their website today!
