Market Square
Williamsport founder Michael Ross established this Market Square as the commercial hub of his town. The Square was for many years the location of the Curbside Market, which moved indoors in 1931 and became Williamsport Growers Market. The Square was also an assembly point for the drawing of the Civil War Draft names, the location of the Ulman Opera House, and the transportation crossroads for the city and county.
