How to visit West Overton Village, the 1800s farm that survived Prohibition, influenced the whiskey business and gave rise to one of America’s Gilded Age industrialists.

Ask most people where American whiskey started and they’ll say Kentucky. And while they’re not entirely wrong—Buffalo Trace claims roots all the way back to 1775—the oldest continuously produced rye brand in the country is Old Overholt, which started on a family farm in southwestern Pennsylvania in 1810.

Today, that farm still stands. It’s called West Overton Village, and it operates as a museum and small educational distillery outside Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania’s Laurel Highlands region. Visitors can tour the 1859 distillery building, walk through a semi-preserved company town and taste rye whiskey made using variations on the famous 80% rye, 20% malted barley mash bill the site’s founder used two centuries ago.
