Bradford House

Bradford House The Bradford House Museum is open for a guided tour year round by appointment. The House is open May through December for guided or self guided tours.

Built in 1788 by David Bradford, infamous leader of the Whiskey Rebellion, it is Washington County's first 18th Century home. We also offer Haunted History Walks, Candlelight Tours and other special events. We are part of the Whiskey Rebellion Festival each year that is held in downtown Washington and we host a Whiskey Rebellion Dinner as a fundraising event.
