If I were looking for a summer of exploring America's historic cities, it would be tempting to start by looking at Philly apartments and finding myself a place to stay there. Colonial America's history was shaped in Philadelphia more than in any other place. It's a starting spot. It's a central location.

Pennsylvania's Amish Country is not too far from Philadelphia. It's a fascinating area where horse and buggy drivers still rule the road.

From Philadelphia you can also visit the historic Civil War battlefields of Maryland and Northern Virginia - places like Antietan, Bull Run, and Manassas. Or you can make a trip to New York see places like Ellis Island and the US Military Academy at West Point.

Of course, this is barely a partial list. The historic attractions within a few hours of Philadelphia would take several pages to list.
