Peters Creek Historical Society welcomes Brady Crytzer, author of "The Whiskey Rebellion: A Distilled History of An American Crisis" as guest speaker, Monday, June 22.   The program will begin at 7:30PM at Wrights United Methodist Church, 788 Venetia Road, in Venetia.

Booklet Cover, text researched and compiled by Diane E. Smith Widmer and A. Caldwell, 1990.

A 1791 tax on whiskey, known as the "Whiskey Act" led settlers in western Pennsylvania to push back in protests with consequential arrests and illegal detentions. One protest occurred locally and cited by a national and state register marker at Whiskey Point, Parkinson's Ferry, now Monongahela. The public is welcome to step back in history to the Whiskey Rebellion and where it occurred in our little corner of the state!
