- History – History buffs enjoy Hopewell Furnace Historic Site, America’s best preserved example of an 18th century iron plantation. It was built in 1771 to produce iron for Revolutionary War cannon, cannonballs, shot, and shell to replace iron imported from England. George Washington was a customer. It also produced iron during the mid-1800s for Civil War weapons. There are 42 restored structures to see (for free), and the site hosts special reenactment events.
- Biking –Reading has been designated as a national Bike Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists. Whether you are a novice or an advanced rider, you will find several scenic trail networks within 15 miles of Reading’s city center that wind their way through the woodlands, forest, country roads and breathtaking scenery of Berks County.
- Hiking – Outdoor enthusiasts, hikers and backpackers love the 10 miles of trails through the hills, woodlands and streams that cover the 665 acres at Nolde Forest State Park. Enjoy well-maintained trails, picnicking, fishing in Angelica Creek, and a variety of public events and informative programs throughout the year.
- Birdwatching – Hawk Mountain Sanctuary is the world’s first refuge for birds of prey and one of the best places in North America to view the annual hawk migration. If you’re intrigued by hawks, bald eagles, falcons, and other majestic birds, take a hike through the paths and rocky outcroppings with your binoculars and enjoy the spectacular views.
- Art – The 5-story GoggleWorks Center for the Arts was the original home of the Willson Goggles factory. Today, it’s the largest, most comprehensive interactive arts center of its kind in the nation. Ongoing art exhibits, dozens of artists and craftspeople working in their studios, and walk-in workshops are the focus of this Reading cultural resource. Admission and parking are free.
