About Williamstown

Nestled in the Wiconisco Creek valley northeast of Harrisburg, Williamstown offers a quiet, small-town setting tucked between Big Lick and Berry Mountains. The town grew during the nineteenth-century coal boom, and you can still see that heritage in its traditional Main Street storefronts and classic neighborhood streets. With steep ridges framing the valley on both sides, the community enjoys a scenic, tucked-away feel that keeps daily life peaceful.
