Begin at the David Bradford House, the home of one of the rebellion's key leaders, and explore the fascinating stories that sparked this pivotal moment in American history. Dive deeper into the era at the Whiskey Rebellion Education Center, where interactive exhibits uncover the rebellion’s cultural and political impact. Then, raise a glass at Liberty Pole Spirits, a craft distillery named after the rebels' symbol of defiance, where you’ll savor locally made whiskey inspired by the past. Finally, journey to the Woodville Plantation, the home of the Neville family and a beautifully preserved 18th-century estate that offers a glimpse into everyday life during the time of the rebellion. 

Return to the hotel at approximately 5PM and enjoy the evening to explore Pittsburgh and dine on your own. Fully vetted recommendations and a map will be provided.

Journey through history, rebellion, and whiskey-making with a day that brings Pennsylvania’s rich heritage to life. Start at the Oliver Miller Homestead, where the first sparks of the Whiskey Rebellion were ignited, and step into the lives of the early settlers who shaped the region. Continue to Mingo Cemetery, a historic resting place that offers a solemn connection to the past and the stories of those who lived it such as John Hollcroft (Tom the Tinker), Major James McFarlane, and more.  Next, visit West Overton Village and Distillery, the birthplace of industrialist Henry Clay Frick and home to one of Pennsylvania’s most storied whiskey legacies, where you’ll delve into 19th-century distilling traditions. 

We will return to the hotel at approximately 5PM so you can freshen up, get dinner, and work your way down to "The Strip" where you will cap off your day with a private tour of Wigle Whiskey, named after "farmer and distiller Philip Vigol (later Wigle) who was sentenced to hang for treason. Wigle was one of only two men convicted of high treason in connection with what was, at the time of his sentencing, already known as the Whiskey Rebellion. Wigle was later pardoned by President Washington." Wigle Whiskey is Pittsburgh’s award-winning craft distillery, and one where we will have an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at modern-day whiskey-making and a toast to the region’s enduring spirit of innovation and rebellion (not to mention your new and old friends made on this tour). It’s a day that blends history, culture, and flavor into an unforgettable experience! 

As your journey comes to an end, you'll want to take a moment to reflect on the rich history, unforgettable stories, and meaningful connections made along the way. From tracing the footsteps of Whiskey Rebellion pioneers to savoring the craft and spirit of modern-day distilleries, this tour will have been a celebration of heritage, culture, and community. Depart with a deeper appreciation for the region’s legacy and plenty of memories worth raising a glass to!
