West Overton Village is a nonprofit historic site and museum that illustrates the rise of the American Industrial Revolution. The Overholts, a Mennonite family, transformed their farm into an industrial powerhouse over the course of the 19th century. 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 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.
Today, West Overton Village preserves 19 historic buildings across 40 acres and is listed on the National Register
of Historic Places. Visitors can tour the 1838 Overholt Homestead, the museum in the 1859 distillery building, and
the educational distillery in which West Overton produces their own whiskey for the first time since Prohibition.
