About the Whiskey Rebellion Trail
The Whiskey Rebellion Trail is made up of four cities, including Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington, and Baltimore, in addition to towns and rural areas in-between. It was created by a group of craft distillers and visitors’ organizations throughout the region to highlight the dynamic contributions of the region to the history of American spirits and the exciting rise of award-winning craft distilleries in the area over the last several years.
The trail was developed as a collaborative effort among a dozen destination marketing organizations (DMOs), as well as dozens of craft distilleries and cultural institutions throughout the Mid-Atlantic. The trail is governed by an Advisory Committee of funding DMOs and participating distilleries. Questions about Trail development can be directed to the Advisory Committee, Cara Webster at clwebster29@gmail.com.
