Admission Information

The museum admission includes:

A 23 minute video, Pillars of Fire, which explains who the principal characters were in the West Overton Story and a comprehensive examination of the coal and coke process.  The story of this homestead goes well beyond Abraham Overholt’s distillery and the museum covers the transformation of Western Pennsylvania from an agrarian to an industrial economy. In addition to several cases of whiskey and distillery related items, there are farm equipment, pottery, exhibits about the coke and coal industry, and a number of Henry Clay Frick memorabilia located in the Distillery Museums’ two floors.  A replica of a coke oven is on display in the museum yard next to the Distillery Museum.  There are also guided tours of the Abraham Overholt Homestead, Springhouse (birthplace of Henry Clay Frick), Summer Kitchen/Wash House, Smoke House, Stock Barn, Carriage House and Gardens. 

The offices and archives are open Tuesday-Friday from 10am to 4pm
all year round except holidays. If you would like to visit or research the archives,
please call ahead and make an appointment.
