Selin’s Grove Brewing Co. opened in 1996 and was fortunate to call home a beautiful Federal style stone governor’s mansion . This historic building was built in 1816 by Pennsylvania’s third and only three term governor, Simon Snyder, for whom our county was named. The building remains remarkably intact and is on the National Historic Register. The Selin’s Grove Brewing Co. is housed on the ground floor in the governor’s kitchen, complete with two walk-in fireplaces. In the late nineteenth century the building was home to MatildaPierce Alleman who wrote a famous book about her experience as a girl during the civil war, Gettysburg; What a girl saw and heard of the battle. The Governors Grave and Momument Visit Gov. Snyder just off South Market Street on West Bough, behind Sharon Lutheran Church. His monument stands tall over the cemetery as he gazes into the distance. His portrait bust and the low relief panels were made in Paris in 1884, long after the Governor's death in 1819. George E. Bissell, sculptor, worked from engravings of Snyder's likeness and accounts of his early life as a farmer and tanner. You'll be glad you took the time to check it out! OUR LOGO- whats with the Dog? Our logo was designed when we discovered an historical account of a distillery & brewery in Selinsgrove in the 1830s that used stray dogs to run in a wheel thus powering the pumps. Link to a page on Historical uses of Dog power! Our favorite past time… The beautiful countryside & the river! Bring your kayak, hiking boots, running shoes and bicycle. There are several resident Bald Eagle in Selinsgrove and plenty of other critters to discover on our easy going river with easy access from a great new Selinsgrove public landing! Cyclist will love the great back roads either through miles of rural Amish countryside or an easy family friendly mostly flat ride to the end of the Isle of Que which is a beautiful & low traffic five mile loop from the pub and back! |
