About Williamsport
Seat of Lycoming County, Williamsport holds a place of prominence along the banks of the Susquehanna River. Its civic development stems from the booming lumber industry of the early 20th century, which made millionaires of many entrepreneurs. In fact, near downtown, "Millionaires' Row" is a five-block stretch of Victorian mansions that illustrates the wealth of these lumber barons. Also in the area are restaurants, shops, pubs (including the award-winning Bullfrog Brewery), a community theater, and the Lycoming County Historic Museum. Many of these sites can be accessed via the city's reinstituted trolley system. Out at the river, the "Hiawatha" riverboat provides narrated tours of the Susquehanna. Of course, all of this city history and attraction provides a charming background for the city's fascination with baseball - Little League baseball was founded in Williamsport! In fact, the Little League World Series is still held here each August, and the Little League Museum tells the full story of the sport, chronicling its stats and providing tons of information. Outdoor enthusiasts should also note that the city is surrounded by approximately 300,000 acres of state lands, sheer heaven for nature lovers.

One of his tours brought him to blossoming Williamsport on New Year's Eve, 1869, and Twain ushered out the old year regaling visitors with his story-telling prowess and wit.
