On July 10, 2008 I visited Williamsport, PA. In addition to currently being the home of the Little League World Series, Williamsport was, in the 1880’s, home to more millionaires per capita than anywhere else in the United States. These homes and churches were built by lumber barons. Today there are limited trolley tours of the area, but I reached the town just after they ended. So I walked around and took these pictures. All of the homes shown in this post are privately owned.
