LevittownRelics

If  you are a fan of the history of Levittown, Pennsylvania pick up a copy (or subscribe to) Pennsylvania Heritage Magazine soon! The current issue "Spring 2002" has an article about Levittown called "Picture Window Paradise" by Curtis Miner. Curt is a curator at The Museum of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg and is the man responsible for putting together the Levittown Exhibit that opens there on Saturday, May 4, 2002.

The article is very well written and gives a nice history of the birthplace of suburbia, plus there are some great pictures, many that you've probably never seen.
