More about Earthwalk Explorer:
Earthwalk Explorer is 3D walkable relief map of the U.S. from North Carolina to New Hampshire on loan from the National Scenic Visitor Center. The mountains are real raised ridges you can feel with your feet and touch with your hands. The topography is rendered in polyurethane rubber. Projected graphics and animations show state borders, cities, parks, rivers, lakes, and cultural features. Music and lively colors complete the atmosphere - one designed to engage young and old!
Earthwalk Explorer also features two colorful Geoshows on the Native American presence in Pennsylvania. Native American Trails of Eastern Pennsylvania focuses on the network of native trails that formed the foundation of much of our modern transportation network. Native American Petroglyphs of Pennsylvania focuses on Lenape rock carvings (petroglyphs) found throughout Pennsylvania. A replica of the famous Jennings petroglyph from the Delaware River accompanies the Explorer exhibit.
