Welcome to Erie, Pennsylvania.
Erie is Pennsylvania's third largest city. Erie is a city located in Erie County, Pennsylvania, on Lake Erie. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 103,717. It is county seat of Erie County. Located in the northwest corner of the state, Erie is successfully maintaining its traditional reputation as an important industrial center. But, Erie is also a major tourist attraction. On Pennsylvania's only seashore, Erie boasts seven miles of clean, sandy, fresh-water beaches on the Presque Isle peninsula, jutting into Lake Erie, a beautiful, natural setting for the Commonwealth's largest state park. A registered national natural landmark, recognized internationally as an ecological gem, the park offers a unique mix of nature and recreation. The Park hosts about four million visitors a year, yet never seems crowded, because of its size and diversity. Presque Isle Bay and the nearby lake are famous for boating and fishing. Charter boats are available. Erie is also experiencing substantial growth as a regional shopping center, with visitors from nearby states and Canada taking advantage of the lack of state sales tax on food and clothing.
Erie, Pennsylvania houses the Brig Niagara, Land Lighthouse, Presque Isle Lighthouse, Presque Isle Bay and Lake Erie. Tourists visit Erie Zoo, Waldameer Inc. & Water World, Erie Playhouse, Roadhouse Theatre and Presque Isle State Park. Most enjoy Warner Theatre, Dafmark Dance Academy and Theatre, Schuster Theatre and the Lake Erie Ballet. More entertainment is provided by Mary D'Angelo Performing Arts Center, the Erie Chamber Orchestra, the Erie Phiharmonic or the Erie Youth Symphony. Don't forget to locate the Civic Center.
Erie, Pennsylvania's educational institutions include Penn State, Mercyhurst College, Edinboro University in addition to Gannon University and the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. The local sports teams include the Seawolves and Otters.
While in Erie, tourists also embark upon the Erie Art Museum, the Lakeshore Railway Historical Society, Marx Toy Museum, Inc., ExpERIEnce Children Museum and the Erie County Historical Society. Most will locate FireFighter Historical Museum, Inc.
Spanning 40,000 acres in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, the Lake Erie appellation has a 150-year history in grape growing and winemaking. The Lake Erie Quality Wine Alliance, an organization of wineries along the tri-state shoreline, invites the public to tour and taste the region's distinctive wines.
Lake Erie is the most shallow Great Lake and the temperate climate along its southern shore has led to the growth of the second largest viticultural region in North America. The cool spring and summer lake breezes, along with the plateau-like topography of the shoreline, blend their forces to create ideal growing conditions for wine grapes.
