I've always wanted to visit there.
I'm ashamed to say that, although I only live about twelve miles from Penn, I have never set foot in the village. I'm fascinated by all the British, but mostly English, place names in the US. Having been to the US on a number of occasions, Pennsylvania would have been my next port of call but, for a number of reasons, unfortunately I didn't manage to get there.
In 1999 I decided to visit Wendover, Wyoming. As it is on the Oregon Trail, I assume that it was named after 'my' Wendover.
There wasn't much there apart from a railway junction and an old dilapidated school building but it satisfied my curiosity. I went on to visit Mt. Rushmore and, on other trips, Yellowstone Nat Park.
