The Huffman Distillery and Chopping Mill is an historic complex of buildings which is located in Somerset Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, United States.

It was designated as an historic residential landmark/farmstead by the Washington County History & Landmarks Foundation,^[2] and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.^[3]

History and architectural features

Contributing buildings include a 2+1⁄2-story, four-bay brick main house, which was built circa 1810, a timber-frame bank barn that was erected circa 1815, a stone-and-log distillery that was built sometime around 1790, and a timber-frame chopping mill that was built sometime around 1805. The mill was horse-powered, and was used to chop grain for the distilling process.^[3]

These buildings are a rare surviving example of an important industry in the Somerset Township area and the very small-scale industrial/commercial enterprises of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The area had a high concentration of distillers, which were greatly affected by the whiskey excise tax and the Whiskey Rebellion.^[3]

George Washington's Gristmill was part of the original Mount Vernon plantation, constructed during the lifetime of the United States' first president. The original structure was destroyed about 1850. The Commonwealth of Virginia and the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association have reconstructed the gristmill and the adjacent distillery. The reconstructed buildings are located at their original site three miles (4.8 km) west of the Mount Vernon mansion near Woodlawn Plantation in the Mont Vernon area of Fairfax County. Because the reconstructed buildings embody the distinctive characteristics of late eighteenth century methods of production and are of importance to the history of Virginia, the site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places despite the fact that the buildings are not original.
