Categories
Step back in time at Woodville Plantation, the home of American military officer John Neville (1731-1803).
General Neville is best known for his central role in the Whiskey Rebellion — a protest in 1791 against the first tax imposed on a domestic product by the newly formed United States federal government. The tax was resisted by farmers in (what was then) the western frontier regions who were long accustomed to distilling their surplus grain and corn into whiskey. General Neville was the tax collector and Woodville was partially burned.
