Historic Sites
History is alive in the Endless Mountains Region! Visit French Azilum Historic Site, where a group of French exiles built a colony along the Susquehanna River to escape the French Revolution. Tour the oldest frame house in our four-county region and relive the days when it was a family dwelling and then a stop for boat passengers to enjoy a cool drink or stock up on food and other products for the rest of their journey.
