Welcome to Historic Williamsport, a
web site by Robin Van Auken dedicated to educating and entertaining
visitors of all ages with stories and illustrations of Williamsport,
Pennsylvania, and its surrounding towns.
A division of the Williamsport Sun-Gazette, Historic
Williamsport features articles and artwork by newspaper reporters
and photographers that span the 200-year history of journalism in Lycoming
County. Some of the notable newspapers with origins in Williamsport
are the Lycoming Gazette, the Gazette and Bulletin,
the Williamsport Sun, Grit, and the Williamsport
Sun-Gazette.
Be sure to visit our bookstore; to honor Williamsport's
Bicentennial in 2006, the Williamsport Sun-Gazette published
a three-volume series that documents highlights from 1806-2006, and
Grit. This highly collectible set is available only through
the Williamsport Sun-Gazette. Enjoy your visit!
