Harrisburg Overview

Harrisburg is the capital of the State of Pennsylvania. It lies on the east bank of the Susquehanna River, 105 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

Harrisburg has played a significant role in American history. During the early part of the 19th century, the building of the Pennsylvania Canal and later the Pennsylvania Railroad set the stage for Harrisburg to become one of the leading industrial cities in the United States.

Downtown Harrisburg has two major performance centers: The Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts, and the Forum, a 1,763-seat concert and lecture hall built in 1930-31 that is located within the State Capitol Complex. Since 1931, The Forum has been home to the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra.
