About location

Tucked into the wooded, rolling terrain of western Pennsylvania, Franklin Park is a place whose character is shaped by its position on the northern edge of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Interstate 79 runs through this suburban setting, linking the Pittsburgh area with Erie to the north and West Virginia to the south. Residential neighborhoods and commercial services sit amid substantial tree cover, reflecting the transition from city to outer suburbs. The Ohio River lies south of the community, beginning in Pittsburgh at the meeting of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers. That confluence helped make Pittsburgh a major steel-producing center, a legacy that still defines the wider region.

Pennsylvania stretches from the shore of Lake Erie to the Delaware River, encompassing Appalachian ridges, plateaus and broad river valleys. Near the state’s geographic centre, the West Branch Susquehanna and its tributaries run through forested country, while the main Susquehanna continues south towards Chesapeake Bay. Philadelphia gives Pennsylvania an enduring place in the story of the United States: Independence Hall was the setting for the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the signing of the Constitution. Former industrial cities, Amish and Mennonite communities, farms and state forests reveal markedly different sides of the Commonwealth.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
