From Orchard to Glass: Bentonville’s Apple History

Peel Compton Foundation

Join us for a unique program that connects two Bentonville icons— Peel Museum & Botanical Garden and RG Macon & Carson Distillery —through the story of the apple industry that shaped our region in the early 1900s. Discover why apples became a cornerstone crop, explore heirloom varieties still grown in the Peel orchard, and learn how the Peel family’s orchards tied into the Macon Brothers’ celebrated brandy production.
