Bomberger's Distillery, National Historic Landmark distillery in Newmanstown, Pennsylvania
The distillery complex features a still house, warehouse, and jug house constructed around 1840, representing early American industrial whiskey production methods.
Swiss Mennonite farmers John and Michael Shenk established the original distillery in 1753, marking the start of commercial spirit production at this location.
The facility transformed from an agricultural enterprise into an industrial operation, demonstrating the evolution of American whiskey manufacturing techniques.
The distillery maintained its operations until 1989, functioning as the smallest commercial distiller in the United States at the time of closure.
Master distiller Charles Everett Beam created Michter's Original Sour Mash Whiskey at this location, naming it after the owner's sons Michael and Peter.
