TitleGoing to Philadelphia? Must-sees for German Lovers
Body
Philadelphia has many interesting things for those interested in German.

1. German Society of Pennsylvania - Since 1764. The library is a must-see.

5. Lancaster County - Home of the first German settlers who passed through Philadelphia. I highly recommend the Hans Herr House (http://www.hansherr.org,) a great example of 18th Century German immigrant living, very well restored, and I recommend the Ephrata Cloister (http://www.ephratacloister.org) another well-preserved example of the religious life of German immigrant groups in this area. Well worth the 1-hour 30-min drive from Philadelphia. There is tons to do with German in Lancaster County.
