The Commonwealth Beat with Laura LeBeau - Episode 117 - 06/07/2026

School's out for summer and vacation is on the mind!  This edition of The Commonwealth Beat is a bit of a best-of-mash-up, featuring two previous reports from earlier editions of the show, featuring destinations not too far out of bounds for budget-conscious vacationers.    In the first segment, we'll revisit Erie County, Pennsylvania, the commonwealth's only "Gateway to the Great Lakes."  Then, in the second segment, it's off to a place that was incredibly important to winning the Revolutionary War.  In this "Summer of the Semiquincentennial," let your revolutionary spirit take hold at the historic, Cornwall Iron Furnace in Lebanon County.
