Whether you love, hate, or simply tolerate social media, it’s hard not to be im pressed by some of the incredible photography on Instagram. I’m consistently inspired by photos that are shared with Where & When by those who follow us. Some are professional photographers, and others are weekend adventurers. All I know is that it makes me appreciate Pennsylvania’s beauty, history, and culture even more. So, I asked a handful of Instagram curators to share their favorite PA destinations. You’ll find photos of their favorites throughout this issue. Just look for the Insta gram curator badge. And be sure to check them out on social media for Pennsylva nia travel inspiration. There are places in Pennsylva nia that may not have the most sweeping views or spectacular landscapes, but they are the heart of the Commonwealth. They are our small towns, where football on autumn nights and falling leaves on the sidewalks are a familiar and welcome sight. So for me, today at least, my favorite place is my home town. Fall on Main Street, Lititz

I’ve been asked what my favorite PA destination is more times than I can count. And, I can never name just one location. From the overlook at Jakes Rocks and the waterfalls at Ricketts Glen to the scenic Laurel Highlands and picturesque Bucks County, every corner of Pennsylvania has post card-worthy views.

Benezette in Elk County has estab lished itself as the “Elk Capitol of Penn sylvania.”

Elk once roamed the mountains of the eastern United States from New York to Georgia. Westward advancement of Eu ropean settlers greatly reduced the herds, and the last of the wild elk disappeared from Elk and Cameron counties in the 1860s. The Pennsylvania Game Commis sion (PGC) slowly reintroduced transport ed Rocky Mountain elk to several north central counties between 1912 and 1915, and their numbers grew rapidly.

To ease the burden on farmers, the PGC authorized legal hunts of bull elk from 1923 to 1931. The hunts proved too pop ular, and the elk were all but eradicated once more, with fewer than 50 remaining in Elk and Cameron counties. Luckily, they were appreciated there. According to a history of elk in Penn sylvania posted on the PGC website, “People were flocking to wherever elk could be found to take pictures and feed them. Visiting hunters were also enam ored by the elk, the sight of which wid ened the eyes and quickened the blood.” So it was fitting that Benezette would be the focus of the KECA’s revitalization ef forts.A renewed desire by people to ex plore open spaces during the COVID pandemic made the Elk Country Visitor Center a very popular destination, with attendance reaching upwards of 480,000 A horse-drawn covered wagon is perhaps the easiest way to view elk on the 245 acres managed by the Keystone Elk Country Alliance near Benezette in Elk County. By Rick Hiduk

Nearly 1,400 elk roaming 3,000 square miles in more than six counties draw hundreds of thousands of natural ists, hunters and the curious to the region every year. At Benezette, the Elk Coun try Visitor Center was established by the Keystone Elk Country Alliance (KECA) to benefit the future of Elk Country and pro vide guests with an up-close look at the majestic, timid creatures.

Farmers were not fans of the elk, as their sheer size and voracious appetites could destroy a cornfield in just one night.

There’s plenty to see and do at the Elk Country Visitor Center, which is open year-round. Days and hours are limited from No vember through May.

Restricted hunt ing of elk is permitted by the PGC, with the number of licenses allot ted each year determined by the estimated herd size and the previous season’s yield. Fourteen elk hunting zones have been established and allotment varies from one to another. The elk are beautiful and live in one of the most pristine regions of the PA Wilds. While they may be the focus of a trip, there are plenty of other things to do and people annually. The venue is a partner ship between the KECA and the Penn sylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and it features a multi-sensory 4-D theater, interactive exhibits, a gift shop, and gravel walking paths from which guests can safely view the elk. Horse-drawn wagon rides around the 245-acre preserve have also proven popular.“We did a lot of habi tat management here on the property, so it brings them up here to feed,” said Josiah Jones, director of communications and marketing for the Elk Country Visitor Cen ter. “It gives them wide open spaces for different elk to come together. They are a beautiful animal, and they are massive.”

animals,beautifulareandtheyaremassive.

The most popular time of the year to visit Elk Country is in September and Octo ber when two elements overlap to attract naturalists and especially photographers: the annual elk rut, or mating season, and fall foliage. “It’s a lot of fun to watch elk during the rut season,” Jones remarked. “They are in a different ele ment.”While the Visitor Center may offer the easiest way to view elk, the PGC owns much of the land adjacent to the KECA property and has official viewing areas at Winslow Hill and Dents Run. Safety of both humans and ey

the elk is a priority for both PGC and the KECA, and the PGC developed a simple Elk Smart program geared toward “Keep ing PA Elk Wild.” Signage in viewing ar eas reads “Give Elk Space – at least 100 yards; Never Feed Elk – it’s dangerous and illegal; Don’t Name Elk – let wild be wild; and Do Your Part – if you see some thing, say something.”Thebest viewing times suggested by the KECA are just after daylight and at dusk, when the elk are moving back and forth from the open spaces where they feed and the woodlands where they spend most of their day.

The week of Oct. 18 is considered the average peak season for fall foliage in Pathways within a stone’s throw of the Visitor Center also provide opportunities to safely view elk. Nov 8.

My passion for the outdoors started when I was very young. I have my parents and grandparents to thank for their weekend trips to the Poco nos. As a teenager, my friends and I were always on the hunt for our next adventure. As an adult, that lust for nature continues and only grows stronger. These days I spend my time sharing my love of nature with my family, and I consider myself fortunate enough to be able to make lasting memories that, hopefully our children will one day recreate with their families.

I chose Barbour Rock and the infamous long pine tree. You can find this view of the Pine Creek Gorge (PA Grand Canyon) along the West Rim Trail in Tioga State Forest after only a short walk. Although the tree has fallen victim to time, the views all along the trail are gorgeous and well worth the hike. Fall, for me, is the best time to visit.

Pennsylvania’s Colonial Peacemaker

Visiting the Homestead of Conrad Weiser

Conrad Weiser will be forever known as a peacemaker. His work as a diplomat and friend to the Native Americans living in Pennsylvania was crucial to keeping both groups safe from uprising and retaliation. When Weiser’s family immigrated to America from Württemberg, Germany, in 1710, he was a young boy. The family settled near Albany, New York, along with other German families. Having developed a friendly relationship with a nearby Mohawk tribe, Weiser’s father sent Conrad to live among them during the winter of 1712 to 1713. The reason isn’t apparent, but this experience would prove to be a watershed event in the young man’s life. Weiser’s time with the Native Americans was marked by hardship. According to his writings, he was cold and hungry most of the time. During his time with the Mohawks, Weiser learned the language, customs, and struggles the native people faced as Europeans encroached on their land. In 1720, Conrad Weiser married Anna Feg. Nine years later, Weiser, his wife, and their four children moved to the Tulpehocken Valley of Berks County, Pennsylvania. They settled on a 200-acre tract of land that was more fertile than their property in New York and where they were afforded a longer growing season. Weiser’s vocation as an interpreter and negotiator began in 1731 when a group of Iroquois on their way to Philadelphia stopped by his home-

ings together. The two became close companions as they made many trips on foot. Weiser preferred to travel in fall; spring was too wet, summer was too hot, and winter was too cold, and snow and ice made the journey arduous. In early 1737, Weiser and Shikellamy set off with a small party for the Onondaga Council in New York to settle a dispute between the Six Nations and the Catawbas. If they couldn’t reach an agreement, it was sure that the war would catch settlers in the crossﬁre. Weiser didn’t want to make such a trip so early in the year, but negotiations were urgent. He set out in late February, and by April, Weiser’s body was exhausted and breaking down. He wrote that he “... stepped aside stead. Shikellamy, the spokesman for the Iroquois, asked Weiser to be a translator for them at a conference they were attending. Shikellamy had heard of Weiser’s ability to speak the Iroquois’ language, and he was looking for someone who spoke both languages. Weiser accepted the request, which would forever change relations between Native Americans and the Pennsylvania settlers. Together, Weiser, Shikellamy, and James Logan, provincial secretary of Pennsylvania and advisor to the William Penn family, replaced the commonwealth’s existing Native American policy with the one they drafted. Over the years, Weiser and Shikellamy traveled to many conferences and Native American council meet-

A few days later, the party arrived in Onondaga, where its efforts were rewarded as Weiser’s remarks led to the end of the Iroquois-Catawba con flict.

Conrad Weiser went on to other successful negotiations, including the 1744 Lancaster Treaty. He was instru mental in maintaining relative peace between the Native Americans and settlers in PA until the mid-18th century. After Shikellamy died in 1748, Weiser’s influence among the native groups began to diminish. As the French enlisted Native Americans in their fight with the Brit ish for control of North America, peace was put to the test. For the most part, the Iroquois in Pennsyl vania remained neutral in the French and Indian War; other groups were not. The Shawnee and Lenape, backed by the French, raid ed cabins in western PA and pushed

Weiser’s military ser vice didn’t last long, as he resigned his commission in 1758. Shortly thereafter, he was back negotiating peace.

and sat down under a tree to die, which I hoped would be hastened by the cold approaching night.” But Shi kellamy was able to persuade Weiser to continue their journey.

The Easton Treaty of 1758 helped to end most of the fighting in Pennsyl vania when the Lenape tribe made peace with the colonists. After all the turmoil and unrest, Weiser returned to the Tulpehocken Valley, where he spent the rest of his days tending to his family and farm. Even beyond his work with Native American relations, Weiser was an important man in the region, serv ing as a judge, prominent landown er, and farmer.

I feel so lucky to have not one, but two real castles just a few minutes away from home built by Henry Mercer in the very early 1900s. To me, they are the crown jewel of Bucks County, and I never pass up an op portunity to photograph these castles throughout the changing seasons every year. An absolute must-visit destination in Southeastern Pennsylvania!”
