Pennsylvania certainly has become a trendsetter. Just look at our beloved Punxsutawney Phil, the first groundhog to annually predict whether we'll have an early spring or six more weeks of winter. Since the inception of Groundhog Day in 1887, other cities have introduced their own versions of Phil. Nothing beats the original, though. And, this Hollywood film, set in Punxsutawney near Pittsburgh, shines the spotlight on Groundhog Day in a unique way.

Give a nod to Pittsburgh as it briefly appeared in the popular 1993 Hollywood film "Groundhog Day," as Bill Murray drove through town on his way to...

Punxsutawney, a small town about an hour and a half from downtown Pittsburgh, that's also known as "The Weather Capital of the World."

In fact, if you visit Punxsutawney, carve out time to visit the Punxsutawney Weather Discovery Center, an family-friendly, interactive attraction.

Of course, most of the country, if not the world, knows the charming town of just over 5,000 residents because of its adorable, furry weatherman Punxsutawney Phil.

And, Murray's character, a weatherman just like Phil, in "Groundhog Day," traveled to Punxsutawney on Groundhog Day to cover whether Phil would see his shadow or not.

While Punxsutawney inspired the film, the scenes were actually shot in areas of Illinois designed to look like the small Western Pennsylvania town.

But, in a frustrating twist of fate, Murray would wake up on Groundhog Day every day - reliving the popular, uniquely-Pennsylvania holiday day after day.

All eyes turn to Punxsutawney on Groundhog Day every February, but the town also hosts a variety of other events throughout the year, including the Punxsutawney Groundhog Festival, held every Fourth of July.

Today, and for many years, Pittsburghers and travelers from around the country flock to Punxsutawney to visit the small town that inspired the movie Groundhog Day.

Even if you don't visit Gobbler's Knob for Groundhog Day, you'll still have plenty to do throughout the rest of the year, including...

Stopping by Phil's Burrow to say sneak a peek and say hello to Phil and Phyllis, Phil's beloved wife.

Visit Gobbler's Knob; go for a hike along the picturesque Gobbler's Knob Trail; and stroll around town where you'll see a series of Phantastic Phils.

Phantastic Phils are a series of artistic statues, such as Fireman Phil and Postcards from Phil.
