I don't know which of these things you will think are important:
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (pronounced [pÉnslÌ©ËveɪnjÉ] or [pÉnslÌ©ËveɪniÉ]) is a state in the northeastern part of the United States.
Pennsylvania has been known as the Quaker State since 1776; prior to that, it was known as the Quaker Province,[1] in recognition of Quaker[2] William Penn's First Frame of Government[3] constitution for Pennsylvania that guaranteed liberty of conscience. Penn knew of the hostility[4] Quakers faced when they opposed rituals, oaths, violence, and ostentatious frippery.[5]
Pennsylvania has been known as the Keystone State since 1802,[6] based in part upon its central location among the original Thirteen Colonies forming the United States.[6] Pennsylvania, however is not only geographically the keystone state, but economically as well, having both the industry common to the North, making such wares as Conestoga wagons[7] and rifles,[8] and the agriculture common to the South, producing feed, fiber, food, and tobacco.[9]
Pennsylvania has 51 miles (82 km)[10] of coastline along Lake Erie and 57 miles (92 km)[11] of shoreline along the Delaware Estuary. Philadelphia is home to a major seaport and shipyards on the Delaware River.[12]

Declaration of Independence being signed in Philadelphia.
Battle of Gettysburg, which most historians agree decided the Civil War would appear to be another.
Washington's crossing of the Delaware on December 25, 1776 to attack British and Hessian forces at Trenton showed the Continental Army that they could go on the offensive and be victorious in battle. Some would argue that this is one of the most important Battle in History as it affected the entire course of history of The Western World and certainly American History as a failure might have meant the end of the American Revolution.
2000 Pennsylvania Militiamen took part in the battle

Don't know if you consider it important, but most people are completely wrong when they say the term "Pennsylvania Dutch". There were no Dutch in Pennsylvania, they were Germans. It is really "Pennsylvania Deutsche" as in the old deutchse mark.

The Eagles, The Steelers, and Independence Hall. At least they are the most important for me. For others it me be: Independence Hall, Pittsburg (the "Steel Town"), and the coin mint.
