Along the Schuylkill River, published by Arcadia and authored by Laura Catalano and Kurt D. Zwikl, is now available. Click here for more information and a list of scheduled book signings.


With the 128-mile Schuylkill River as its spine, our Schuylkill River National and State Heritage Area is alive with a remarkable diversity of historic, recreational and cultural attractions. Along "the Revolutionary River," visitors can shadow the birth of our nation from the cobblestone streets and fabled landmarks of old Philadelphia to the huts and hollows of Valley Forge. Upstream you'll find a wealth of historic places, quaint river towns, abundant parks and access points to the river and trails, and year-round activities.

There's always something new to discover. Let the river - and this website - be your guide.
