		<description><![CDATA[The mansion at Pottsgrove Manor exemplifies the restrained elegance of early Georgian architecture popular with wealthy English gentry during the colonial era. Built in 1752 for John Potts, ironmaster and founder of Pottstown, Pennsylvania, the mansion was situated on a 1,000 acre iron plantation, which by 1762 included the old village of "Pottsgrove." Only four acres of the original property remain today, but Pottsgrove Manor has lost none of its original charm and architectural beauty, reflecting the eminence that the Potts family attained before selling the property in 1783. The mansion has been restored to recreate the lifestyle and times of the Potts family, using John Potts' personal ledger as a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Located near Reading, Pennsylvania, the Daniel Boone Homestead is a state historic site which preserves a number of historic structures from the Oley Valley in southeastern Berks County, Pennsylvania. Daniel Boone's parents first inhabited the site in 1730, and Daniel was born there in 1734. He spent his first 16 years in this homestead before his family migrated to North Carolina. Today's Daniel Boone Homestead tells the story of Daniel's youth and the saga of the region's 18th century settlers, contrasting their lives and cultures. In addition to the historic residence, visitors can see a smokehouse, blacksmith shop, a homestead barn and a log [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Located just blocks from Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Betsy Ross House is generally recognized as the place where Betsy Ross resided when she may have made the first American Flag. The front part of the house was built around 1740, with the stair hall and the rear section added 10 to 20 years later. Ross is believed to have lived here with her first husband from 1773 to about 1785. Today, the historic house is furnished in the period in which Betsy Ross' descendants said she lived there. Visitors can view seven rooms that are furnished with period antiques, 18th-century reproductions and other objects that belonged to Betsy Ross and her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Carpenters' Hall is a two-story brick building in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that was a key meeting place in the early history of the United States and is now a part of Independence National Historical Park.

		<description><![CDATA[Mill Grove was the first home of John James Audubon in the United States and is the only true Audubon home that remains standing in this country. This Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, estate was owned for 17 years by Audubon's father, who was a French sea captain. While at Mill Grove, John developed his “wire armature,” a device that gave life to his freshly shot specimens and his drawings of the birds. The home, now a museum, contains the complete editions of every major work published by Audubon including the world famous Birds of America, which was printed and hand colored from copper plate engravings that were produced in London. The Mill Grove Audubon Center is maintained as both a museum and a bird sanctuary, with five miles of marked [...]]]></description>
