UWFox Offers Trip to Historic Philadelphia

The University of Wisconsin-Fox Valley, in cooperation with UW-Manitowoc, is offering a five-day trip to Philadelphia one of America’s most historic cities, from Oct. 7 – 11, 2009.

Visitors can discover the contributions to the national heritage as they view period history, architecture and furnishings. Independence National Park and the National Constitution Center offer opportunities to retrace the footprints of the Founding Fathers and Mothers, from Betsy Ross’s house to Elfreth’s Alley and Colonial Society Hill.

Philadelphia is rated as one of the best walking cities in the country. The city layout is simple to master and the neighborhood streets are filled with fun and diverse shops, restaurants, museums, parks and people. Philadelphia also ranks in the top five of great American cities for the arts with collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The tour group will also visit historic Gettysburg, PA, situated on the historic Mason-Dixon Line that once divided the North from the South and made famous by the Civil War’s 1863 Battle of Gettysburg, often thought of as the turning point of the war.

While traveling to Gettysburg, the tour will stop in the unique city of Hershey, home of the Hershey Chocolate Company. A tour of Hershey’s “Chocolate World” provides wonderful insights into the culture of cocoa, where participants will see, feel, and hear the processes that deliciously transform the beans into milk chocolate.

Also featured is a trip to Lancaster County and the scenic Pennsylvania Dutch Country. The area boasts beautiful scenery dotted with one-room schoolhouses and wooden covered bridges, modern farm machinery being pulled behind four-and six-mule teams, homemade clothing and quilts gently blowing in the breeze, and Amish communities where life moves at a slower pace and centers around time-honored traditions and values.

The trip fee includes airfare, hotel, ground transportation from the UWFox campus to the airport and return to the campus, a walking tour of Philadelphia, and the bus trips to Hershey, Gettysburg and Lancaster County.

The cost of $1495 is based on double occupancy with $600 added for single occupancy. A $100 non-refundable deposit is necessary to hold a reservation. A pre-trip meeting will help participants plan their stay in Philadelphia.  Group leaders are Cathy Paynter, UWFox Director of Continuing Education, and Kathy Palmer, UW-Manitowoc Director of Continuing Education.
