New Philadelphia NHS
The New Philadelphia National Historic Site became the 424th park in the National Park System on December 29, 2022. The historic site commemorates the town of New Philadelphia, which was founded in 1836 by Frank McWorter, a former slave who purchased his freedom and that of 15 family members. McWorter also bought land and sold lots to other African Americans, making New Philadelphia the first town in the United States to be founded and designed by an African American. The New Philadelphia site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, designated as a National Historic Landmark, and included in the National Park Service’s National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom. In 2015, the New Philadelphia Association worked with game designer and professor Jon Amakawa of Fitchburg State University to develop augmented reality for the site. Using cell phones and the QR codes located on site, visitors can go deeper into the history of the town.

Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor
This 165-mile long National Heritage Area in eastern Pennsylvania winds through the Pocono Mountains across five counties and over one hundred municipalities. The corridor offers exquisite sightseeing along historic railroads and scenic rivers from the anthracite coal mines near Wilkes-Barre down to Philadelphia. The spine of the corridor is the Delaware and Lehigh Trail (D&L), a 140-mile biking trail that was once a bustling transportation system for the region, including for Native American tribes such as the Susquehannock, Iroquois, and Leni Lenape. Many of the original Native American villages drew European settlers to the area. Today the Corridor contains more than 100,000 acres of public lands for outdoor recreation, including many state, county, and local parks.
