The Buttner Brewer’s House, one of the original buildings nestled in Historic Bethabara Park, was built in 1803 and is the oldest distiller’s house still standing in the United States. Bethabara’s original log brewery and distillery, built in 1756, was located across from the Gemeinhaus.
After two decades of large-scale production, a new brewery and distillery was built on the same site in 1777. The new brick and stone building caught fire and was destroyed on December 2, 1802, but was rebuilt on the original foundation using surviving construction materials. Completed in 1803, the Brewer’s House still stands today.
Since then, time has taken its toll and the building’s roof is badly in need of repair. The Historic Bethabara Park Board of Trustees is sponsoring this raffle to help defer the costs of a $85,000 major roof restoration.
