Top 5 Things to do in the Pottstown Area The Pottstown area is a lively town in Montgomery County. This borough of Pennsylvania is just about 40 miles from Philadelphia and sits on the banks of the Schuylkill River. The area has a lot to offer to residents and travelers. From thrilling hot air balloon rides to state-of-the-art theaters to spectacular train excursions to unrivaled historic sites, Pottstown has it all. The following is a list of the 5 things you should do in Pottstown. 1. Visit the Althouse Arboretum https://althousearboretum.org/arboretum/ Where better to begin the fun than a premium spot where you are surrounded by nature and greenness. The Althouse Arboretum came into existence only after an agreement between GreenAllies and Upper Pottsgrove Township, as well as the 1.6-acre lot donation by the Hilsee Family. Although a big chunk of the land is still under the ownership of the township, Green Allies oversees the 17 acres of open space. Recently, Althouse Arboretum was connected to Sussel Park and Prout Farm. These new additions presented another opportunity to increase education program options as well as conserving additional acreage. In the future, it will be linked to other existing parks, trails, and open spaces. And this will further increase the environmental or conservation value in the area. At the moment, the arboretum features the following: Children's Forest Trail Native Plant Garden Two Forest Classrooms Raised Garden Beds Eco Gift shop Low ropes course 1+ mile of hiking trails Connection to the Sprogel's Run trail 2.

It produces high-quality small-batch handcrafted spirits. Montgomery County has been through a lot of changes, from the Revolution to Civil War to industrialization, and Manatawny-courtesy of its production-is at the center of this change. The establishment sits somewhere close to the 18.2 miles long tributary of the Landmark Schuylkill River, where it cuts into the County's countryside. It coexists with a winery and brewery. An experience will have you coming back for more. 4.
