There where at one time 24 sawmills in Williamsport, There was a boon across the river of logs attached by chains that stopped the logs that were floated down the streams to the Susquehanna River.. Railroad also hauled logs. Visit the Local Historical museum of Williamsport on west 4th Street.
I live in Williamsport and walk any of the blocks in town and you’ll see so many beautiful old homes. Some need a lot of work but they are all beautiful.
The wieghtmen block was built by Peter herdic originally suppose to be called herdic block, Peter herdic put 13 churches in the immediate area all different sent the family to church he never went
You want to know more about the Lumbering of Pa visit the Pa Lumber Museum on Rte 6 in Potter Co. near Dent Hill St Park. Very informational. Film, displays. full size Shay engine, and a Lumber Camp. July 4th they have the Barkpeelers Festival.
I hear ya. But maybe they could have a Welcome Back to Williamsport weekend every couple of years. We want to go back and stay in the hotel in the old city hall.
From what I understand the homes on Millionaires row fall under the historical registry and must be refurbished by their rules. Also, at Christmas time you can tour some of the homes. I have never done the tour; but I have been in the Herdic House restaurant at Christmas time. It is beautiful.
So it does exist! Google Maps was saying there was a restaurant there but I didn't see any signage. My wife and I want to go back and stay in the hotel that is the old city hall. Def will go to Herdic House when we do. Thanks for your comment.

Definitely agree. If you did a TH-cam video on what you see, I’d definitely watch it.
