About Preservation Williamsport

Preservation Williamsport operates the Rowley House Museum, located in Williamsport's Millionaires Row Historic District, a National Register Historic District. Visitors walk through the restored Victorian mansion to experience how wealthy industrialists lived nearly 130 years ago, viewing original amenities and furnishings still intact within the home. The organization also maintains a Historic District Walking Tour Map that guides visitors through the neighborhood to observe Victorian mansions undergoing restoration and the renewed gardens, parks, and period street lamps that define the area. The Rowley House Museum showcases the architectural beauty and craftsmanship of Williamsport's industrial past, with visitors frequently remarking on the mansion's exceptional restoration. The museum allows guests to discover the names, addresses, and daily lives of the city's prominent families and learn firsthand about the region's rich architectural heritage. Preservation Williamsport's mission extends beyond the museum to educate the public about the importance of historic preservation and community connection to the past.
