Easton, PA

Easton is an eastern Pennsylvania city where the Lehigh River meets the Delaware River. Its river location made it important in colonial, industrial, and transportation history, and the city maintained a hospital for injured Continental Army soldiers during the Revolutionary War. Today Easton has a lively downtown, Lafayette College nearby, and the restored State Theatre Center for the Arts hosting concerts and performances. It feels historic and urban in a manageable way, with river bridges, old buildings, college energy, and Lehigh Valley momentum all close together.
