Museum Spotlight - West Overton VillageTuesday September 6, 2022
5:00 PM
West Overton Village Museum & Distillery
West Overton Village is the only pre-Civil War village intact in Pennsylvania. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a stop on the American Whiskey Trail. The Village represents the transformation of American culture from an agrarian society with the production of the coverlets and the distilling operation, to a more industrial society with the excavation of coal and ultimately the production of coke, a necessary ingredient for steel. Today visitors can tour the restored Village’s remaining buildings, including the Overholt Homestead, the Spring House where Henry Clay Frick was born, and the Distillery Museum.
At this virtual program, a representative from West Overton will highlight the history of the site and what you may see during your visit. Following the presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and learn more!
