Heritage Homestead reflects Western Pennsylvania’s history and has a unique connection to the events in the Whiskey Rebellion that took place across the region in the 1790’s. Enjoy an evening steeped in history, complete with a local music group playing jaunty tunes of early America while you peruse information from local historical organizations and various artists and artisans showcasing period-specific craftsmanship. Throughout the evening guests (21+) are invited to taste whiskey and moonshine from local distilleries with light 1790’s-era culinary fare available for purchase.
Starting at 6:30pm, Brady J. Crytzer – local historian, author, and professor of history at Robert Morris University – will present a detailed account of the factors leading up to this tax protest, the many characters involved, and the significance of these events for our region and the land where Pittsburgh Botanic Garden resides. Brady will also lead tours to the nearby Walker-Ewing-Glass Log House, which itself has interesting connections to these historical events.
