Scattered throughout Eastern Pennsylvania are remnants of history being reclaimed by nature. Join author and photographer Kathleen Butler on a journey to discover the little-known history of ruins deep in the woods of Pennsylvania that can only be reached by foot. Venture along and unearth remnants of the coal mining industry, mills, railroads, and more. Explore the history that is not taught in schools. Those who only live a few miles from these ruins do not know of their existence, let alone their past. Some are from industries that fell hard when the market was no longer in their favor. They ultimately abandoned their businesses or moved elsewhere. Others tried to establish themselves only to find that the area was not suitable, thus leaving their failed community behind. Soon, these abandoned ruins will disappear into the forests of Pennsylvania forever.

Have you ever peered through a crack in a shuttered window or door and wondered what is hidden from view and what happened to this place? Take a journey through some of Eastern Pennsylvania's ruins and discover an evocative new way to look at history and long-neglected sites. A crumbling asylum, silent prisons, opulent theaters deserving reclamation, quiet fabric and garment mills, a rusty steel giant that once roared 24/7, an eclectic castle, a cemetery that once catered to Philadelphia's elite, a still school that was once the pride of the region, and remnants of agrarian districts are found among Eastern Pennsylvania's diverse collection of abandonments succumbing to economic and cultural shocks. Throughout this book, pictures on top of pictures emerge with stories about loss. Discover a surreal world that development has left behind, where industry collapses, or culture changes and decay take over.

Abandoned Pennsylvania: Remains of the Keystone State provides readers a glimpse back to times left behind. A once-booming state, which played a central role in the American Revolution, is now home to countless abandonments, from the big cities lush in forgotten churches and schools with remarkable architecture to small rural coal mining towns trapped in time that hold the remnants of former homes, hospitals, jails, and mills. Look deep inside through the 141 color photographs of these crumbling beautiful structures and discover the beauty in the natural decay. Explore the magnificent remnants of a 110-room mansion that holds ties to the Titanic. Wander the tracks of an old rickety wooden roller coaster engulfed in foliage or an old silk mill that has colorful threads from end to end. Follow the journey and step inside Pennsylvania like you never knew and discover what lies behind closed doors. These once well-constructed, elegant structures will meet their demise and fall victim to mother nature and vandalism.
