About
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.
Historic Williamsport features articles and artwork by Williamsport Sun-Gazette and other 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, Gazette and Bulletin, 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: A Newspaper Legacy. This highly collectible set is available only through the Williamsport Sun-Gazette. Enjoy your visit!
