Wildwood Cemetery (Pennsylvania)

Wildwood Cemetery is a cemetery located in Loyalsock Township, Pennsylvania just north of the city of Williamsport. Wildwood was established in 1863 as the main cemetery for Williamsport and its surrounding communities. With a size of 340 acres it is the largest cemetery by size and grave count in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. The cemetery is split in two by Wildwood Boulevard/Cemetery Road. East Wildwood contains the cemeteries, crematorium, offices, and all of the larger public mausoleum. West Wildwood is where the military memorial and monument are located, as well as the Praying Hands mausoleum. The cemetery has an "escape burial hatch". Thomas Pursell, a local firefighter, wanted a burial arrangement for which he or his family could escape in case they were prematurely buried. The resulting design was heavily documented by media in Williamsport and the surrounding areas. There have been six other such hatched built in surrounding cemeteries based on Pursell's original. Notable people buried at Wildwood James Gamble (died 1883) Peter Herdic (died 1888) Robert Porter Allen (died 1890) Henry Clay McCormick (died 1902) Elias Deemer (died 1918) Edgar Raymond Kiess (died 1930) Bucky Veil (died 1931) Herman T. Schneebeli (died 1982) Bob Pellegrini (died 2008) See also List of cemeteries in Pennsylvania List of cemeteries in the United States Nearby cemeteries Highland Cemetery, Lock Haven, Pennsylvania References
AACA Museum

The AACA Museum is a transportation museum located in Hershey, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit museum dedicated to the preservation of American automobile history. Despite its name the museum is not affiliated with the Antique Automobile Club of America. The 71,000 square feet (6,600 m2) museum displays over 130 cars, buses, motorcycles, and automobile collectibles in themed settings from the 1890s–1980s. It is an affiliate museum of the Smithsonian Institution, and the American Alliance of Museums. Its major collections include the Cammack Tucker Collection, the world's most extensive collection of Tucker automobiles, and the Museum of Bus Transportation collection. In 2014, the museum won the NAAMY Award of Excellence from the National Association of Automobile Museums. Collections Cammack Tucker Collection The AACA Museum holds the largest permanent collection of Tucker 48 automobiles in the world. Named for David Cammack, a historian and collector of Tucker automobiles, the entire collection was donated to the AACA Museum from Cammack's personal collection upon his death in 2013. Museum of Bus Transportation Collection Alongside the AACA grand opening in 2003, the Museum of Bus Transportation leased space in the museum's lower level to showcase their collection of 22 classic buses. As of 2020, the Museum of Bus Transportation owns roughly 33 buses, most of which are on display in the AACA Museum. History AACA Museum, Inc. was formed in 1993 as a public charitable organization with a mission to construct a museum to preserve all forms of historical motor vehicles. In 1996, the incorporation purchased 25 acres of land in Hershey, Pennsylvania to be used as the site for the future museum building. Initial costs for the building were estimated at $11 million, and in 2000, the William J. Cammack Supporting Organization Trust pledged a multi-million dollar testamentary commitment, along with three 1947 Tucker Torpedo automobiles. Much of the rest of the fundraising was accomplished during the AACA annual car shows hosted in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The museum opened on June 26, 2003, with roughly 70 cars donated, or on loan from, the club's members. Rather than display their cars in long rows, the AACA Museum incorporated an educational approach in its displays by adding scenery and set designs that complement the period in which each car was built. In 2013, the museum was named as one of the 12 car museums in the USA worth a detour by MSNBC. Gallery References External links AACA Museum website
Cork Factory Hotel

The Cork Factory Hotel, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA, is a hotel that opened in 2009 in a redeveloped cork factory dating to 1865. The plant was variously known as the Lancaster Cork Works and the Lancaster Closure Plant. History The property was operated as a cork factory dating to 1865 and was acquired in the late 19th century by Armstrong Cork Co., later renamed Armstrong World Industries. In 1929, Armstrong consolidated its cork operations at the site, making Lancaster "the 'cork capital' of the world". At that time, the "Cork Works" on New Holland Avenue manufactured a wide array of cork products, including soles and heels for shoes and cork-lined metal tops for soft drink bottles. The company's linoleum manufacturing business developed using by-products from cork manufacturing. The plant was later used for closure and plastic container manufacturing and became known as the Lancaster Closure Plant. In 1969, Armstrong sold its packaging business, including the Lancaster Closure Plant, to Kerr Glass Manufacturing Corp. Kerr manufactured plastic bottles at the plant but ceased operations there in 2000. Redevelopment In 2004, Barry Baldwin acquired the property for $1.2 million with plans to redevelop the site into "Urban Place", a mixed use complex of retail, restaurants, offices, apartments and a hotel. The hotel opened in 2010. The hotel is a member of the Historic Hotels of America. References

Sullivan's Bridge

Sullivan's Bridge is a trail bridge that crosses the Schuylkill River and connects West Norriton Township with Upper Merion Township in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The bridge carries Sullivan's Trail, which connects the Schuylkill River Trail to Valley Forge National Historical Park. It opened in 2016, and runs parallel to an adjacent bridge crossing that carries the County Line Expressway (US 422). History Former Betzwood Bridge The Betzwood Bridge was a former truss bridge located on the site of the present-day Sullivan's Bridge. Constructed in 1900, the bridge connected the communities of Betzwood and Port Kennedy, carrying automobile, pedestrian, and cycling traffic. In 1928, PA 363 was designated onto the bridge, with the route connecting with PA 23 just south of the river crossing. In the 1960s, the County Line Expressway was constructed, and a four-lane automobile bridge carrying the highway was constructed adjacent to the bridge. The PA 363 designation was moved onto the new highway, through it would later be redesignated as US 422 in the 1980s The bridge was closed in 1991 due to structural issues, and was demolished in 1995. While plans were being developed for a replacement of the bridge, all local traffic was forced to use the US 422 bridge as the only river crossing in the area. In order to accommodate for pedestrians and cyclists, a wooden walkway was built onto the US 422 bridge. The walkway was intended as a temporary solution, as it was only three feet wide and required cyclists to dismount and walk their bicycle across the bridge while crossing. Plans ultimately failed to construct a new automobile bridge due to environmental concerns about the proximity of the bridge to Valley Forge Park. However, as congestion continued to grow on US 422, funding was secured by the National Park Service (NPS) and PennDOT to construct a new, $9.3 million bridge for pedestrians and cyclists only on the site of the old bridge. As part of a larger project in the area, the US 422 bridge would be reconstructed and expanded to include lanes for local traffic. Construction began on the new Sullivan's Bridge in 2014, and it opened to pedestrians and cyclists on August 19, 2016. Notable features The concrete bridge is 604 feet long and 14 feet wide. Upon completion of the bridge, Sullivan's Trail was created to run from the Schuylkill River Trail near the north end of the bridge and connect to the trail system of Valley Forge Park near the south end of the bridge. Near its south end, the bridge crosses over a former Reading Company and SEPTA Regional Rail line, and the historic Port Kennedy station can be seen from the bridge. The bridge and the trail running on the bridge are named in honor of General John Sullivan, who was charged by George Washington to build a bridge over the Schuylkill River around the time of the 1777–1778 winter encampment at Valley Forge.

Piper Aviation Museum

The Piper Aviation Museum is an aviation museum at the William T. Piper Memorial Airport in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania. It is focused on the history of the Piper Aircraft Corporation. History Efforts to establish a museum dedicated to Piper aircraft began in 1984, following the company's decision to close the Lock Haven factory in March. Later that year, at a dinner with Piper distributors, Cal Arter, a company test pilot, announced plans to acquire a tractor trailer to create a mobile display. A 42-foot (13 m) trailer was donated by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission in 1986 and for ten years it existed as a branch of the Lock Haven Heisey Museum. Then, in late 1996, the museum purchased the former Piper Aircraft engineering building. One of the two first light aircraft to circumnavigate the globe, a PA-12 named The City of Angels, was donated in mid-2006 by the museum's historian, Harry P. Mutter. The museum opened additional exhibit space in 2022. The museum acquired a J3C and PA-23 in 2024 and the sole PA-47 in 2025. It announced plans for a 9,600-square-foot (890 m2) expansion in 2026. Exhibits Exhibits at the museum include a display about the former Piper head of styling, Dick Clark and a flight simulator made from a PA-38. A historical marker is also located in front of the museum. Aircraft on display References External links Official Website

Chiesa di Cristo (Filadelfia)

La chiesa di Cristo (in inglese Christ Church) è una chiesa episcopale di Filadelfia, in Pennsylvania. Fu fondata nel 1695 da membri della Chiesa d'Inghilterra, che costruirono una piccola chiesa di legno sul sito attuale. L'edificio attuale, costruito fra il 1727 e il 1744, è invece un esempio di architettura americana del periodo coloniale. Al suo interno si trovano alcuni oggetti di rilevanza storica: il fonte battesimale, arrivato nel 1697, è ad esempio un dono dalla chiesa londinese di All Hallow's Barking ed è il fonte in cui fu battezzato William Penn, fondatore della colonia. Il fonte battesimale più piccola, chiamata anche American Font è un'opera di Jonathan Gostelowe, datata 1789, analogamente alla tavola usata per le funzioni eucaristiche, del 1788. Il lampadario, originale del 1744, proviene dall'Inghilterra. Fra i molti personaggi storici che professarono la propria fede nella chiesa di Cristo vi furono George Washington e sua moglie Martha, Benjamin Franklin, che è sepolto nel cimitero della chiesa situato fra le strade Fifth e Arch. La Chiesa episcopale degli Stati Uniti d'America fu fondata in questa chiesa al termine della Rivoluzione americana. Il vescovo William White (1748-1836), primo rettore della chiesa, fu il primo vescovo della Pennsylvania, e vi eseguì la prima ordinazione nel maggio del 1787.

Christ Church (Philadelphia)

Christ Church is een kerkgebouw van de Episcopaalse Kerk in de Amerikaanse stad Philadelphia. Geschiedenis De Christ Church werd in 1695 opgericht door enkele leden van de Anglicaanse Kerk en zij bouwden een kleine houten kerk op de plek van de huidige kerk. Ongeveer twintig jaar later was de gemeenschap flink gegroeid en voldeed de oude kerk niet meer en werd er besloten om een nieuw kerkgebouwen op te trekken. De bouw van het gebouw vond plaats tussen 1727 en 1744 en de toren werd uiteindelijk in 1754 voltooid. Met de zestig meter van de torenspits was het op dat moment het hoogste gebouw van Noord-Amerika. De kerk werd in 1777 herbouwd door Robert Smith, die ook verantwoordelijk was voor de bouw van onder andere Carpenters' Hall. In 1883 werd onder leiding van Thomas U. Walter het interieur veranderd. Bouwstijl Het gebouw is opgetrokken in de stijl van de georgiaanse architectuur en is gemodelleerd naar het werk van Christopher Wren in Londen. De kerk heeft een klassieke, symmetrische voorgevel met boogramen. De architect van de kerk is onbekend, maar de bouw van de Christ Church stond onder leiding van de fysicus John Kearsley die waarschijnlijk ook verantwoordelijk was voor het ontwerp. Graven In de kerk en in de oude begraafplaats van de kerk lagen verscheidene historische personen begraven: Jacob Broom, ondertekenaar van de Grondwet van de Verenigde Staten Robert Morris, ondertekenaar van de Grondwet van de Verenigde Staten James Wilson, ondertekenaar van de Grondwet van de Verenigde Staten Galerij Externe link Toeristische website

Kraftwerk Bruce Mansfield

Das Kraftwerk Bruce Mansfield ist ein Kohlekraftwerk im Beaver County in Pennsylvania. Es befindet sich am linken Ufer des Ohio River in der Gemeinde Shippingport, etwa 40 km westlich von Pittsburgh. Wie das benachbarte Kernkraftwerk Beaver Valley wird es von FirstEnergy betrieben. Das Kraftwerk besteht aus drei Blöcken mit einer Leistung von zusammen 2490 Megawatt. Diese wurden zwischen 1976 und 1980 in Betrieb genommen. Die beiden älteren Blöcke verfügen über je einen 289,6 m (950 ft) hohen Schornstein, der Kamin von Block drei ist 600 ft (183 m) hoch. Jeder der drei Kühltürme hat eine Höhe von 125 m (410 ft). Das gesamte Betriebsgelände umfasst eine Fläche von 1,9 km² (473 acres). Unter Volllast kann das Bruce-Mansfield-Kraftwerk 59 Mio. Kilowattstunden Strom pro Tag erzeugen. Pro Jahr werden sieben Millionen Tonnen Kohle verbrannt, diese wird hauptsächlich per Frachtkahn über den Ohio River angeliefert. An das Kraftwerk angeschlossen ist eine Fabrik, welche den bei der Rauchgasentschwefelung erzeugten Gips zu Gipskartonplatten verarbeitet. 2016 wurde das Kraftwerk aufgrund geringer Strompreise eingemottet. Umwelt Nach Angaben von FirstEnergy wurde ein Drittel der Baukosten von insgesamt 1,4 Mrd. US-Dollar in Umweltschutzmaßnahmen investiert. Das Kraftwerk verfügt über Anlagen zur Entstaubung, Stickoxid- und Schwefeldioxidfilterung, trotzdem sind die Umweltbeeinträchtigungen teils erheblich. So war das Bruce-Mansfield-Kraftwerk mit einem CO2-Ausstoß von 17,4 Mio. Tonnen 2007 das Kraftwerk mit der größten Kohlendioxid-Emission in Pennsylvania und belegte Platz 16 in den Vereinigten Staaten. Ein weiteres Umweltproblem stellt die Flugaschen-Deponie des Kraftwerks acht Kilometer weiter westlich am Little Blue Run dar. Der milchig-türkise See enthält diverse Schwermetalle sowie Arsen und Selen. Wegen unmittelbarer Gefährdung von Menschen bei einem möglichen Dammbruch ist das Reservoir auf einer von der EPA erstellten Liste von 49 potenziell gefährlicher derartiger Anlagen.

Kraftwerk Brunner Island

Das Kraftwerk Brunner Island (englisch Brunner Island Steam Electric Station) ist ein Kohlekraftwerk auf Brunner Island am Susquehanna River im York County in Pennsylvania (USA). Das Kraftwerk besteht aus drei Kraftwerksblöcken: 1967 gingen noch drei Dieselgeneratoren mit je 2,8 MW ans Netz. Emissionen Neben der Abwärme, die in den Susquehanna River eingeleitet wird, wird auch Schwefeldioxid ausgestoßen. So werden für jede Megawattstunde an elektrischer Energie 9,29 kg Schwefeldioxid emittiert.
Brunner Island Steam Electric Station

Brunner Island Steam Electric Station is a coal and natural gas-powered electrical generation facility in York County, Pennsylvania. It occupies most of the area of the eponymous island on Susquehanna River. The power plant has three major units, which came online in 1961, 1965, and 1969, with respective generating capacities of 334 MW, 390 MW, and 759 MW (in winter conditions). In addition, three internal combustion generators (2.8 MWe each) were installed in 1967. Talen Energy will stop coal use at the plant in 2028. Environmental impact PPL, the owner of the plant at the time, announced in 2005 that it would begin to install scrubbers at the plant and that installation would be complete by 2009. The scrubbers, PPL says, are intended to annually remove 100,000 tons of sulfur. The facility was cited as one of several facilities in the region by a USA Today study of air quality around area schools as a potential source of significant pollutants. Fly ash from the Brunner Island facility is approved for use in construction projects, especially for "use in concrete mixes to reduce alkali silica reactivity of aggregate." Greenhouse gas emissions In 2021, the facility produced 2.28 megatonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) greenhouse gas emissions. This is the same climate impact as 491,312 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for one year. With respect to greenhouse gas emissions, out of 89 power stations in the state, Brunner Island ranks as the 13th most polluting. Sulphur dioxide emissions In 2006, Brunner Island ranked 27th on the list of most-polluting major power station in the US in terms of sulphur dioxide gas emission rate: it discharged 20.49 pounds (9.29 kg) of SO2 for each MWh of electric power produced that year (93,545 tons of SO2 per year in total). Scrubbers began operation in 2009, removing about 90-percent of sulfur dioxide emissions and reducing mercury emissions. They spray a mixture of crushed limestone and water onto the exhaust gas before it goes out the plant's chimney. Sulfur reacts with the limestone and water in the plant's exhaust, forming synthetic gypsum. This is collected and shipped to a drywall manufacturing company. Waste heat Brunner Island discharges all of its waste heat (about 1.44 times its electrical output) through evaporative cooling towers, installed new in 2009. Conversion to Natural Gas As part of a 2018 out-of-court settlement with the Sierra Club, which had previously sued the plant and its current owner, Talen Energy, over air and water pollution, Brunner Island will eventually completely phase out coal. Brunner Island has stopped burning coal from May to September, which is considered peak smog season. By 2028, the facility will completely switch over to natural gas 12 months of the year.
