Mansion Tours Step Back in Time to the Victorian Era The Frederick Stegmaier Mansion welcomes small groups to large bus tours for those who wish to learn about the rich and colorful history that surrounds the Mansion. Come experience the legacy that was begun in 1857 when Charles Stegmaier began brewing beer in America. Learn how “Stegmaier Gold Medal Beer” earned its name as you enjoy a tasting of that very same beer which is being brewed here today in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, at the Lion Brewery. From the moment you walk through the massive entrance doors of the Mansion, you will instantly be transported back in time not only by opulent surroundings, but also by your guides Carle Welter and owner/proprietor Joseph Matteo. They both enjoy bringing fashion, history and Victorian lifestyle alive for guests. As you follow Carle or Joe through the winding halls of the Mansion, you will marvel at how truly "authentic" your experience has become!
