10. Steamtown National Historic Site

DOWNTOWN.   In Scranton's glory days, trains were king of transportation, and the city had a huge hand in the nation's railroads. This park – located on the grounds of the former Delaware, Lackawanna & Western rail yards – preserves that era, thanks to restored steam locomotives, train cars and equipment, and auxiliary structures. Visitors can learn about the heyday of railroading, see how locomotives are maintained, and check out exhibits on everything from mail delivery to coal. Train rides are also available, and folks are often unexpectedly mesmerized by the depth and abundance of information. Great for the entire family.   (© 10Best)
