The Whiskey Rebellion Festival is held by the Bradford House Historical Association.
The Whiskey Rebellion Festival honors the significant period of America’s early days through historical reenactments, period exhibitions and demonstrations, family fun, frontier art, heritage music, and food while shining a national spotlight on the city, county, and region.
