Enhance your holiday travel experience by downloading this audio tour and exploring the Highways from Pennsylania to Cleveland.
This route starts near Erie, Pennsylvania where I-79 intersects with Interstate 90. It continues southwest on I-90 through western Pennsylvania and then into Ohio, passing the cities of Conneaut, Ashtabula, Geneva, Madison, Painesville and Kirtland. The program concludes in the eastern suburbs of Cleveland.
The section of Pennsylvania we drive through has been the subject of intense competition: just about everybody has wanted it. First, Native Americans fought for control, then the French claimed it, then the English, then New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania all contended that this land was their land. The reason? Lake Erie. The US Congress finally awarded the so-called "Erie Triangle" to Pennsylvania since, without it, the state would have had no access to a major waterway. Erie became Pennsylvania's only port city.
As we make our way along this highway, the path we are following has been well-travelled. Mountains to the south made it difficult to get through so just about everybody from the northeast came this wayon foot, by horse, by wagon, by stagecoach and then finally by motorized vehicles. If the traffic seems heavy now, it's nothing new: this route has been crowded since the late 1700s.
This area also saw intense activity on the Underground Railroad. The Underground Railroad was a network of blacks and whites who helped escaped slaves from the south make their way to freedom in the years before the Civil War. On some of the older highways of northeast Ohio, there are still buildings that served as stations on the Underground Railroad.
This program offers a timed commentary on the region featuring its people, history, geography andespeciallystories that are unique to the area this highway takes us through.
