Visit WASHINGTON COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA WHISKEY REBELLION FESTIVAL JULY 7-8 GOWASHCO.COM MADE AND MOLDED BY HISTORY: Take in the culture and history of Washington County by spending time at one of many notable museums. By Beth Seabright Bradford House Museum and Whiskey Rebellion Education and Visitor Center A visit to downtown Washington is not complete without a stop at the award-win- ning Bradford House Museum and Whis- key Rebellion Education and Visitor Center. A new highlight at the museum this year is an exhibit board focused on the defenses on the frontier, specifically the roles women played in this unique time in history. Smell the mouthwatering aromas and take in the hearth cooking demonstrations in the kitch- en cabin the last Saturday of every month for an immersive feel of what life in the 18th Century was really like. If you are looking to create a special event, book a whiskey tast- ing or a private 18th Century style dinner in David Bradford's dining room prepared by a local, top-notch chef. Meadowcroft Rockshelter & Historic Village Travel back to prehistory with a hands-on, experiential tour of the Meadowcroft Rock- shelter & Historic Village in Avella. See the in- ternationally renowned archaeological gem which has provided evidence of 19,000 years of a human presence in our region and ex- perience rural life over the past 500 years through each exhibit. Explore a wigwam and test your aim with an atlatl at the 16th Century Eastern Woodland Indian Village. Walk through an 18th Century log cabin and open-sided trading post to learn about the challenges Native people and European set- tlers faced as these cultures came together. Watch a blacksmith forge red-hot iron or take a lesson in a one-room schoolhouse at the site's 19th Century Historic Village. 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the ex- cavation at Meadowcroft. This milestone will be celebrated with additional programming and two separate days of baseball games featuring teams from the Vintage Base Ball Association playing by rules of the 1860s. LeMoyne House The LeMoyne House is a Historic National Landmark and famed stop of the Under- ground Railroad in downtown Washington. Tour this stately stone house and hear the important stories of Dr. LeMoyne and the free African American population in Western Pennsylvania who risked their personal free- dom to take a stand against slavery. A facility dedicated to research that will house collections not currently on display at the LeMoyne House opens this summer. A new research library will give visitors inter- ested in genealogy and family history or stu- dents completing research projects access to more than 100,000 documents to con- duct thorough research. Duncan & Miller Glass Museum Many do not realize that glass manufactur- ing dominated Western Pennsylvania in- dustry from the Civil War era through the 20th Century. The history and heritage of this era, but most importantly, the beauty of the glass, is captured at the Duncan & Miller Glass Museum, located in an ADA accessible building on Ridge Avenue in Washington. Guided tours give visitors an in-depth look at those ordinary people who made extraor- dinary glass. A favorite area of the museum is the How It Is Made Room which focuses on the original tools that were used, as well as the processes utilized to create Duncan & Miller glass. New this spring will be a 1930s parlor and kitchen exhibit that will display furniture and glassware found in the aver- age kitchen during this time period.
