Let me guess, you are coming up from Ft. Rucker to go to Ft. Indiantown Gap. There is a good Civil War Museum in Harrisburg. Pennsylvania's state capitol is one of the most beautiful in the country. The State Museum of Pennsylvania is also pretty nice.

The Cornwall Iron Furnace state historical site is nearby and it's pretty impressive. Hopewell Iron Furnace NHP is not too far. Valley Forge is a little but further but pretty good. Hawk Mountain. Historic Ephrata Cloister is pretty cool. Landis Valley Farm is great.

You're not too far from Lancaster for the Amish life.

Pennsylvania has some of the best rail trails in the country.

Close, I am going to Ft. Indiantown Gap but not coming from Rucker. I’ll add the civil war museum to list, and also spend some time at the capitol. I planned in going to Valley Forge as well, thanks!

I was stationed at Rucker for flight school back in the 80's.

You could do the Civil War Museum and the Capitol on the same day. Harrisburg has a nice waterfront, take a walk and grab some lunch.

Enjoy your visit to Pennsylvania.

Oh nice! I’m a Blackhawk crew chief in the Alabama guard and have a class at FITG. Thanks for the advice!

I figured it was something aviation related. I haven't been to FIG in years. They used to have Huey instrument simulators there. The night sky in that area is pretty nice, lots of stars.
