Erie, Pennsylvania is the Gem City known for the sparkling waters of the Great Lake Erie. It is the Flagship City with a rich, often scandalous, sometimes tragic, yet triumphant freshwater maritime history.

Visitors and residents can explore the diverse heritage of the region originally settled by a peaceful Native American tribe for which the lake and city are named. Rum Runners, clergy, industrialists, and farmers all pre-date the friendly current residents. Erie boasts colleges and universities, civic pride in multiple museums, historic societies, and battle markers. Lighthouses guide visitors to fine wineries, theatre, dance, shopping and dining as much a part of Erie as the extensive beaches and natural beauty of Presque Isle. Americana can be experienced in its charming zoo, amusement parks, and sports complexes. Water recreations join sporting opportunities as well.

Industrial, recreational, and educational, Erie, with its lake effect, offers a unique perspective of tenacity in the north-west corner of Pennsylvania.
