Five counties
Four industrial cities
Three rivers
Two canals
One National Heritage Corridor –
preserving our history, enriching our future
Each generation has attested to the determination of the human spirit. In eastern Pennsylvania, this strength and drive to fuel America’s 19th century industrial revolution was forged by coal fires in blast furnaces. This strength is still with us and so is a sense of duty to maintain a legacy of fortitude. Through land stewardship, a strong work ethic, and goals aimed at sustaining an economically prosperous future, the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor continues Pennsylvania’s fiery passion for progress.
Yet, we cannot fulfill this mission alone. We depend on our partners just as the steel worker once depended on the coal miner. Becoming a partner with the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor will provide a mutually beneficial alliance, allowing us to forge a new, more prosperous future, together.
We invite you to join us on a great journey in sustain this celebrated and historic transportation corridor so that generations to come may enjoy the intellectual, healthful, and spiritual benefits of our historic parks, trails, and buildings. Working together not only unifies our communities, but also allows us to see our common goals into fruition!
