Explore Downtown Williamsport<\/span><\/h2>\n

WIlliamsport is known today as the birthplace of Little League Baseball, but the city\u2019s history goes much further back \u2014 and defines much of what you see there today.<\/p>\n

Williamsport, Pennsylvania was founded in the early 1800s, a small town along the banks of the Susquehanna River. That river, which flows south from the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon<\/a><\/strong>, helped Williamsport become the richest city in the world for a while. Before the industrial revolution<\/a><\/strong>, lumber was king. The lumber from Pine Creek Gorge floated downriver to Williamsport where it was processed and sent to cities far and wide to build homes, wagons and even early New York City. The businessmen who ran it made Williamsport their home. And the wealth came.<\/p>\n

Today, Williamsport is a thriving city with a small town, friendly feel. Downtown is home to restaurants and breweries like you\u2019ll find in Pine Square, boutique shops, street murals and the famous Bases Loaded Statues. <\/p>\n

\n

Here\u2019s a map to the Bases Loaded Statues<\/a><\/strong>. Be sure to read the inscriptions on each one!<\/p>\n

Guests who want an easy vacation can stay at downtown hotels<\/a><\/strong> and walk to many of the city\u2019s attractions and activities. If it\u2019s available, I highly recommend the City Hall Grand Hotel <\/a><\/strong>for your stay! Yes, it was the city hall. Now, it\u2019s listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is repurposed as a hotel! It\u2019s an incredible space, fitting for this grand old town.<\/p>\n
