1. In 1754, the first American political cartoon was published in Benjamin Franklin's Pennsylvania Gazette. The cartoon depicted a snake cut into pieces, each representing a colony, with the caption "Join, or Die", urging the colonies to unite against French and Indian threats.
2. In 1800, the last session of the Pennsylvania legislature was held in Philadelphia before it was moved to Lancaster due to a Yellow Fever outbreak. It was later moved to Harrisburg, the current capital of Pennsylvania.
3. In 1839, the first state penitentiary in the United States, the Eastern State Penitentiary, opened in Philadelphia. It was known for its controversial "separate system" of solitary confinement, which aimed to rehabilite rather than punish prisoners.
4. In 1963, the world's fair "The Great New York State Fair" opened in Syracuse, New York, featuring a pavilion showcasing the state of Pennsylvania. The pavilion included a replica of a coal mine, a Pennsylvania Dutch schoolhouse, and a model of Independence Hall.
5. In 1980, a 35-acre fire broke out at Hersheypark in Hershey, Pennsylvania, damaging several attractions, including a wooden roller coaster. No one was injured, and the park reopened a few days later after repairs.
