History shared by Peter Jiang
"
The history of Pennsylvania has tightly been connected with William Penn and his family.The name of the state means "Penn's Forest".Penn's Landing of Philadelphia marks the first landing spot that William Penn adventured his vast forest area which he was granted by the King of UK to waive King's debt to Penn's father-GBP 13,000.
In addition, don't miss the Museum of Fine Art of Philadelphia.In my opinion, the museum absolutely deserves you a visit.
Thanks to 10 years' temporary capital of USA, Philadelphia prospered fast. The city belonged to Benjamin Franklin who escaped from his bullying elder brother and settled down Philadelphia. The name of city means "love Philosophy". "
