Description

Pennsylvania has one of the most historically significant landscapes in the U.S. This document discusses the King of Prussia Inn, a large stone building sitting on a teardrop-shaped island in the middle of Route 202 in King of Prussia, Montgomery County, PA. Since the 1950s this spot, at the intersection with Gulph Road, has witnessed rapid & extensive change. Today, what was once farmland surrounding a small crossroads village is covered by malls, housing subdivisions, & blacktopped roads & parking lots. A partnership of fed. & state agencies & a non-profit org. raised the funds to save the Inn by moving it to a new location in 1998 & restoring it. The inn’s history & archaeology, & the inn itself, were all preserved. Maps & full-color illustrations.
