"Located in Allentown's Historic Afflerbach Mansion, The Afflerbach Mansion Art Gallery and the Museum of Trailing-Edge Technology, have corresponding online versions that are a must-see for artists and technology historians alike. The remarkable Afflerbach Mansion, the location of the physical museum and gallery, was the former Mayor's Mansion of Allentown, Pennsylvania's third largest city, when Mayor Roy Afflerbach (D) was in office. 

​
