Historically speaking, you can learn about the Victorians and how the lumber barons of the late 1800s left behind architecture that Victorian Homes Magazine called “some of the best depictions of Victorian architecture in Pennsylvania.” That’s right; Millionaires’ Row offers the opportunity to step back in time to see how life was lived over a century ago. And if that’s not enough, you can also travel east of Williamsport to Muncy to tour its historic district and see a rich collection of Federal-style homes. Lycoming County is also becoming a cultural hub for the arts, both visual and performing along with the skilled craft trades. Williamsport is in its second decade of First Fridays. Every First Friday, local and regional artists and skilled crafters partner with local establishments in Williamsport to showcase their creations. The performing arts have notable venues available to them at both the Community Arts Center and the Community Theatre League. The Community Arts Center is a 2200 seat theatre that provides the opportunity for national tours to take center stage. Likewise, the Community Theatre League provides local performers with the opportunity to showcase their talents to the local and regional audience.

  • Lycoming County History, Facts and Information
    Lycoming County History, Facts and Information (Ideal for students and school reports) Lycoming County Visitors Bureau www.vacationpa.com History of Williamsport and Lycoming County Geology Millions of years ago this entire area was part of a great sea. Through the centuries many changes have taken place in the earth’s crust. Extreme pressures built up within the earth’s core caused great upheavals of rock. (Most of the rocks in this area were sand- stone, shale and limestone formed from sediment on the sea floor.) This action is revealed in the exposed rock strata seen in many places throughout the county. During the great Ice Age at least three distinct glaciers entered the country, the most re- cent from 11-27 million years ago. The “Devil’s Turnip Patch” astride Route 15 about two miles south of South Williamsport and other areas of stony rubble are debris left by the retreating glaciers. Indians Artifacts indicate that the region was settled as early as 3,000 B.C. In more recent times the Andantes or Susquehannock Indians inhabited the area. They were eventually driven out by the Wolf Indians, a sub-tribe of the five Nations, who remained here until about the mid-1700’s. White Settlers Northward expansion into the hinterland of Pennsylvania, following the close of the French and Indian War, brought white settlers to the rich bottomlands of the West Branch Valley in 1765. Self-reliant and hardy, they cleared the land, built cabins from the felled trees; they lived off the land, and hunted for most of their meat.
