08/01/2004 Archived Entry: "Lewisburg and Williamsport, PA"

Tuesday, July 13th, I drove for one of our public tours to Williamsport, PA. We first stopped for lunch at the beautiful Lewisburg Hotel in Lewisburg, PA, just south of Williamsport. The hotel (photo above left) is beautifully restored both inside and out, and the food was excellent -- a very popular stop. Then we did a driving tour of mansions old and new in Williamsport, famous home of Little League Baseball, followed by an hour ride on the Hiawatha Paddlewheeler (photo above right) up the Susquehanna River. It was a perfect day for the ride -- very warm, but cooler on the water, with beautiful scenery along the way. The Hiawatha is diesel powered these days with just a free-wheeling paddlewheel, but nevertheless was a very nice ride. It was one of the most relaxing trips I've done.
