Artifact Overview
In 1869, enterprising Henry J. Heinz began his successful business by bottling horseradish in the basement of his parents' home in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania. By 1895 that small operation had turned into a full-fledged factory. This image provides an overhead view of what was by then called the "Horseradish Factory." The "House Where We Began" can be seen on the far right.
