The Legacy of Local Distilling

The public is invited to the next lecture in our guest speaker series on Saturday, February 21st 2026 at the Lititz Public Library. We’ll be welcoming local experts Ethan Smith and Jim Wolfe, who will be discussing the legacy of local distilling.

From the early Moravians to modern times, the distilling of spirits has been an important part of our area’s history for generations. From small “mom and pop’s” to larger, commercial operations, locally, this business has grown by leaps and bounds in more recent years. Smith and Wolfe will trace the early history of local distilling and also discuss the impact it has had on the economy and communities within Central Pennsylvania and beyond.

The library is located at 651 Kissel Hill Road, Lititz. Reservations open at 9am on Saturday, February 7th.
