Each state in the United States has its own special charm and adventure, as well as things to do in that state that are very homegrown. In a sense, each state has its own renowned vacation spot.

According to AYTM Research, around 27% of travelers decided to vacation within their own state in 2024. Meanwhile, 57% of those surveyed said they were venturing out of state, and 9% were going to a different country.

The folks at HGTV have put together a roster of the best adventures to do in each state, so it's great for those who don't want to head outside of the state for a trip.

So, what about Pennsylvania? In this state, HGTV raves about the historic Fallingwater, a house museum in Stewart Township.
