We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?

This year’s itinerary includes Valentia Mill & Farm Site, located just outside Funkstown and dating back to the 1790s. The property, recognized with the 2022 John Frye Historical Preservation Award, offers insight into early rural life and industry in the region. From there, participants will head to Williamsport’s Springfield Farm, a site with origins in 1764 and later renovations in 1879. The Town of Williamsport recently acquired the property, and the tour will be led by Williamsport Mayor Bill Green.
The final stop on the tour will be the Knights of Pythias Building—also known as the Pythian Castle—along Conococheague Street in Williamsport. Constructed in 1908, this early 20th-century structure adds a distinctive chapter to the architectural narrative of the region. Guests will receive catered boxed lunches as part of the tour, with vegetarian and other dietary options available upon request.
