BALTIMORE
Just under a two-hour drive down Interstate 95, you could make
it to Baltimore and back in a day, but you’ll want to schedule
more time than that for all the city has to offer.

The Inner Harbor, with the National Aquarium, Maryland
Science Center and Port Discovery Children’s Museum, is a
popular tourist destination, and rightfully so, but the city has
other great areas and attractions to explore.

Neighborhoods like Canton, Hampden and Fell’s Point are
packed with quaint shops and independent eateries.

Baltimore also has plenty to offer in the area of quirk: The
American Visionary Art Museum features imaginative and
unique work by self-taught artists outside the art world; the
Papermoon Diner in Remington is packed with mannequins, a
giant Pez collection and carousel horses; and Graffiti Alley is a
hidden spot covered in constantly changing colorful street art.

ROCHESTER, NEW YORK
Like Philadelphia, Rochester is steeped in
interesting American history. For one, Susan
B. Anthony, a pivotal member of the women’s
suffrage moment, was born in the city. You can
learn more about her life and work at the National
Susan B. Anthony Museum & House. Then pay
a visit to her grave at Mt. Hope Cemetery, where
the abolitionist Frederick Douglass, who lived in
the city for 25 years, is also buried.

If you want to learn even more about women’s
suffrage, Seneca Falls, New York, the location of
the first Women’s Rights Convention in 1848, is
on the way from Philadelphia.

Another famous historical house in the city
is the George Eastman Museum, which is the
former home of the founder of the Eastman
Kodak Company and pioneer of photography
and motion picture film. The museum holds one
of the biggest collections of photography equip-
ment in the world and hosts a variety of rotating
photography exhibits. It has a large film archive
that houses the private collections of filmmaker
greats, including Ken Burns, Spike Lee and
Martin Scorsese.

Later in the summer, Rochester will host a
variety of festivals, including the Little Italy
Festival, Carifest, Flour City Brewers Fest and
Puerto Rican Festival.
