West Overton Village
West Overton Village is a historic site, museum, and rye whiskey distillery in Scottdale, PA. The history of West Overton illustrates the rise of the American Industrial Revolution. The Overholts, a Mennonite family who purchased the property in 1803, transformed their small family farm and an industrial powerhouse throughout the 1800s. West Overton supported a distilling complex that produced one of the country’s oldest and most renowned rye whiskey brands, along with a commercial coverlet factory, a gristmill, a cooperage, a coal mine with 110 coke ovens, and a community of agricultural and industrial workers. West Overton native Henry Clay Frick left his fortune to his daughter, Helen Clay Frick, who purchased the property in 1922 as a way to memorialize her father. West Overton Village has been a museum since 1928 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, enjoy guided tours, exhibitions, programs, and our educational distillery.
