How Far From Pardoe to ...

We spend a lot of time looking through Gazetteers that were published in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many of the Gazetteers include the distance from a community such as Pardoe to various places of note, such as the White House.

With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance<1> beginning in Pardoe and extending to:

• Mercer, which is the Seat of Mercer County, lies just to the West.
• Harrisburg, which is the State Capital of Pennsylvania, lies 182 miles [292.9 km]<1> to the east southeast (ESE). If you could drive a straight line from Pardoe to Harrisburg, with an average speed<2>of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, it would take a little over three hours to make the trip. A comfortable walk of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour would take 11 days. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take 8 days.
