Where to find the interesting and unseen in Pennsylvania?

I’m looking for interesting and bizarre places to visit in the state of Pennsylvania. Does anything immediately come to mind? I'd love to find places that are visually striking.

What about particular characters around the state? Anyone you can think of doing something unique?

Weird travel

I’m looking for the kind of places you find on Atlas Obscura or Roadside Attractions, except more. We love history, creepy haunted things, oversized things, tiny things, weird museums, strange little shops & photo ops. Info about local food is always appreciated too.

Currently looking just in the continental US for this year. Websites appreciated as well as personal recommendations. Is there a subreddit for this?

Place with warm ocean during summer and fall colors during autumn?

I've been to 50 countries, 6 continents, and 49 US states, and I'm pretty sure what I'm about to ask doesn't exist, but if it does I need to know and move there immediately.

Does anyone know of a place where the ocean is warm during summertime (over 80 degrees) and you can see fall colors (reds, oranges and yellows) in that same place during autumn? I am aware that this would likely mean that the place is extremely hot in summer and the temperature would have to dramatically drop by 20-30 degrees within a span of 1-2 months max. I also know climate change has been delaying fall colors and making them less vivid as places are staying warmer longer.

I live in Florida for the warm beaches and visit New England every October to see the fall colors, but I wish I could just live in a blend of the two places (with less mosquitos in both).
