The 1752 ironmaster’s mansion at Pottsgrove Manor — which also served as a hotel and bar from the 1870s to Prohibition — makes an ideal setting to learn about the area’s “liquid” history.
Attendees at the program will get to sample some of the distillery’s products, including their signature J. Potts Whiskey and T. Rutter Rum, while learning about the beverages that the actual John Potts and Thomas Rutter bought and consumed in the 18th century.
