Pattenburg House

If you were around in the early 1800s, you might know that the town of Pattenburg used to be called Calvin’s Mills. It was there, on one fateful spring day in 1812, that two enterprising gentlemen named Cummings & Dolphin began a distilling operation. Using grain from the mill and water straight from the nearby Mulhockaway Creek, they fashioned a recipe for rye whiskey.
