Fondest memory: View of Center Square Easton. This was the original site of the County Court House. Once a thriving town, Easton went through a period of decline in the 70s and 80s as many shopping centers and malls were built in the suburban areas, taking away business from the city, as happened to many towns in the US. It has somewhat resurrected itself with several tourist attractions being added in the downtown area in recent years, among those, the Canal Museum and also a tourist center operated by the Crayon Manufacturer 'Crayola'.

Fondest memory: Easton served as a major stop along the Lehigh and Delaware Canal System that linked the coal regions of northern Pennsylvania with the port City of Philadelphia. The state still maintains most of the canal system and is a great place for hiking or biking.

Favorite thing: The square in Easton is the symbol of Easton. There is a nice statue here that commemorates its war heros. Squares are a typical feature in Pennsylvania towns.

Favorite thing: If your in town an looking for something to do, visit the Campus of Lafayette College. It is very scenic there, especially in mid Spring and Autumn.
