Weekend Itinerary around Boyertown, Pennsylvania

“History is not the past but a map of the past, drawn from a particular point of view, to be useful to the modern traveler.”

Here is my weekend itinerary around Boyertown, Pennsylvania for you. It’s roughly a 5 1/2 hour drive from Western New York. I had the lucky privilege of puttering around the area because they hosted the Matpra conference. While there, I had access to many great local attractions and businesses. I dropped my car off and check in at Doubletree by Hilton Reading. A quick refresh and we headed out to explore the area.
