Reading has more than one claim to fame. The Pennsylvania Dutch Country city is the home of Reading Railroad, immortalized on the Monopoly gameboard, as well as the first Civil War regiment, volunteer band and women's society. The idea to cultivate outlet shopping as a tourist industry was also developed in Reading, spawning its designation as the Original Outlet Capital of the World. Each year Reading draws thousands of visitors eager to shop six factory outlet complexes that sell everything from designer clothing to baked goods to fine jewelry. The centerpiece of the city's original layout, Penn Square remains the nexus of Reading, offering a number of shops and boutiques housed in historic buildings, as well as community activities that take place on the landscaped pedestrian mall. Several historic attractions reveal the area's fascinating past, including the Berks County Heritage Center.
