The wineries in this cluster lie just outside the historic village of Waterford, which was founded by Quakers in 1733. Today the village is a National Historic Landmark, the highest honorary designation bestowed by the US Department of the Interior, because of the residents who have diligently preserved not only the settlement’s historic structures, but the surrounding open land as well. It is well worth a stroll through the narrow streets to see this unique place that is untouched by modern living.
