Millionaire's Row Historic District

Millionaire's Row Historic District is a residential area in Williamsport containing over 260 buildings spread across approximately 100 acres of late Victorian architecture. The streets feature grand mansions, churches, and manicured gardens lined with mature trees throughout the neighborhood.

The district developed during the lumber industry boom in the 1800s when Williamsport had the highest concentration of millionaires per capita in the United States. This economic prosperity drove the construction of the grand mansions that still define the neighborhood today.

The Trinity Church, First Church of Christ-Scientist, and Covenant Central Presbyterian Church demonstrate the religious importance within this neighborhood through their architectural elements.

Visitors can pick up walking tour maps to explore the mansions and gardens at their own pace. The area is easily walkable and the streets are straightforward to navigate with historical landmarks as reference points.

The district is home to museums like the Rowley House Museum, which showcase rare examples of Victorian residential design from the era. These buildings offer glimpses into how wealthy families lived during the boom years of the lumber trade.
