Rebel leaders John Holcroft and James McFarlane, whose death at Bower Hill fomented the attack on Pittsburgh, are both buried in the cemetery.

I am here with the man, the myth, the legend, John Holcroft.

This history is unique to western Pennsylvania and Washington County. The center also allows us to meet the needs of our physically-challenged visitors with fully accessible educational space and an accessible restroom.

The center will also expand our back-office capacity with work, meeting, and storage spaces allowing our Executive Director’s office to be on-site.

With the addition of the educational center and in partnership with local historical groups, the BHHA will be able to share the important story of the Whiskey Rebellion and how it helped shape American history through hands-on educational activities and displays including a historical timeline, period exhibits, and 18th-century tavern bar, and distilling display.
