Pennsylvania Postcards

Each week, we share interesting tidbits about our state, on a variety of topics.

Latest Episodes
  • Wilson made many important contributions to America's developing democracy during the Revolution.
  • Not all important Revolutionary War sites were battlegrounds. Such is the case with Fort Robredo in the Altoona area, but it was a critical resource for the Continental Army.
  • Women weren't typically seen as being able to understand military or war topics, which is why Anne Bates was able to be such a successful spy for British forces. Anne was a Philadelphia school teacher and the wife of a British soldier.
  • The Battle of Wyoming, which happened in modern day Wyoming Valley in Luzerne County, has been described as horrific. It was also a pivotal fight during the American Revolution.
  • We head to Horsham to visit Graeme Park, an historic estate that played a part in the Revolutionary War. Graeme Park was originally built in 1722, the home of Pennsylvania Governor William Keith.
  • Perhaps you've heard of Robert Morris University in suburban Pittsburgh. It's named after the man himself, known as the financier of the revolution.
