14. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Philadelphia played an instrumental role in American history. That means retirees can visit or volunteer if they enjoy that sort of thing at the city’s many museums and national historic landmarks. You can check out where the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence. Likewise, you can also see where they convened for the Constitutional Convention. It’s nice to know that you can even visit the University of Pennsylvania, which Benjamin Franklin founded. The city has also evolved to more modern amenities, keeping up with today’s society and cultures, such as several professional sports teams, science and art museums, and top-ranked medical facilities (via Money). Another plus of this town is that the Hospitals of the University of Pennsylvania Penn Presbyterian are among the 20 best hospitals in the country, according to the US News Best Hospitals Honor Roll anyways (via Money).
