Williamsport - once the lumber capital of the world, Williamsport is located on the Susquehanna River in the Valleys of the Susquehanna area of Pennsylvania. It has many splendid historic mansions that recall the days when the lumber barons reigned supreme and the fruits of their empires were being transported on the Susquehanna to the rest of the country. The river itself offers many types of recreational activities, including a paddlewheel boat tour. And, as far as recreation goes, Williamsport has the honor of being the home of Little League baseball, and hosts the Little League World Series each year.
