Peter Herdic Transportation Museum

The new Peter Herdic Transportation Museum in the City of Williamsport was created utilizing an old railroad freight storage building adjacent to a vacant portion of ground in the center of the City.

This part of Williamsport used to be a transportation hub for multiple railroads during the early – mid 1900’s. The project consisted of gutting the existing 4000 square foot building, remodeling the space for display of transportation-based artifacts, and constructing an outdoor exhibit, plaza and parking area.
