"Located in Allentown's Historic Afflerbach Mansion, The Afflerbach Mansion Art Gallery and Museum of Trailing-Edge Technology are a must-see for artists and technology historians. The remarkable Afflerbach Mansion is the historic former Mayor's Mansion of Allentown, Pennsylvania's third largest city."

​
