Pennsylvania Route Recommendations
I am looking for recommendations on interesting routes to cross Pennsylvania from east to west with a nice overnight stop somewhere in the middle of the state. We're traveling with children ages 4 - ...

With the little bit of information given, I'll make a few suggestions.
Most interesting Route would be Route 6 across the northern tier. Lots of small towns with some interesting history spread throughout.
Most efficient route (middle) to get across would be I-80. Typical interstate. Nothing to see but trees unless you take an exit.
Last choice for me would be the southern route I-76 PA turnpike. Will cost you a lot of money in tolls.
Where to stay for an overnight? Your gonna need more than one night to see PA. The state is big and there are lots of interesting things to see and do. But with kids looking for entertainment, it'll be hard to beat Knoeble's Grove Amusement Park. They have kiddie rides for the little one and more exciting rides for the older ones (including you). Park admission is free. You buy books of tickets and use them to pay as you ride. If you want to camp on site call them now and try to get in. They have two campgrounds. One is a few miles away but provides a shuttle bus to the park.
If they can't get you in do a search in the area for campgrounds. There are several nearby.
