Williamsport Info

Welcome to Williamsport, the county seat of Lycoming County. We're a small city of 35,000 situated in the Susquehanna Valley of the Bald Eagle Mountains.

While the Pennsylvania tourist guide refers to the area as the region of "woods, water and wildlife," Williamsport is a bustling center for business, manufacturing, government, and finance. Visitors are welcomed here.

You may already know that Williamsport is the Birthplace of Little League Baseball. When in town, catch the spirit of America's homegrown sport at the Little League Museum and World Series complex.

Relive the colorful history of Williamsport's glory days as lumber capital of the world at the Historical Museum or by touring Millionaire's Row of 19th-century homes or the Freedom Road cemetery.

Shop downtown Williamsport for fine men's clothing, artisan jewelry and local crafts. Relax and enjoy baked specialties and beverages at the Coffee and Tea Room or Joanna's Bakery. Dine at some of the area's favorites including Franco's Restaurant, The Pub, and The Old Corner. Plus, no visit to Northcentral Pennsylvania is complete without a side trip to the Woolrich Woolen Mills and Outlet Store, the world famous manufacturer of casual and outdoor wear. Or, stop at the 120-store Lycoming Mall conveniently located off I-180.

Just for fun, you can cheer on the minor league Crosscutters at historic Bowman Field, cruise the Susquehanna River on the Hiawatha paddleboat, tee off at White Deer 45-hole Golf Complex, or take in a touring show at the Community Arts Center.
