Pennsylvania’s Historic National Road

Cutting across the southwest corner of Pennsylvania, the Historic National Road Corridor is the site of arguably the most important revolutionary events in U.S. history. As the birthplace of the French & Indian War – the conflict that ignited America’s fight for independence; the Whiskey Rebellion, where the federal authority of the United States was first tested; and the site where the U.S. Constitution faced its first challenge, the National Road is America’s Road to Revolution.
The 90-mile corridor has not only hosted America’s most important political revolutions, but has been the stage for many of the country’s most influential social, industrial and cultural revolutions, as well. Travel the National Road and discover the route that helped give life to a country and transform a nation.

WEST OVERTON VILLAGE The story of West Overton Village begins with Henry Overholt, his wife and twelve children. The first business conducted at the village was distilling rye whiskey in a very small distillery built from logs. Henry’s son began the commercial distilling operation at West Overton which included Old Farm Pure Rye Whiskey.

As the industry continued to develop, the village became completely self-sufficient and there was zero waste as part of the distilling industry.

Glades Pike Winery

MEET THE FAMILY Glades Pike Winery started out as a family business, and both the business and our definition of family have expanded since that time.At the root of our family tree are Steve and Karen – the couple who joined a wine making club for fun and ended up with a new business on their hands. Branching out, you’ll find our tight knit staff who welcome customers into our “home” with open arms and, of course, bottles. Those customers are part of the family, too. Many become regulars, not only as customers, but as our goodwill ambassadors – spreading the word and bringing their friends into our happy little home.
