Established in the 1830s and registered in 1866 by Jack Daniel, the Jack Daniel Distillery is the first registered distillery in the United States and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 

In 1956, the Jack Daniel Distillery was purchased by Brown-Forman Corporation of Louisville, Ky.  Brown-Forman, founded in 1870 is a diversified producer and marketer of fine quality beverages.

Every year about 300,000 people tour the distillery and visit the small town of Lynchburg. In any two-month period, visitors from all 50 states and over 30 foreign countries will stop by to see where their favorite whiskey is made and to meet the people they have come to know through Jack Daniel’s advertising campaigns.
