Welcome to the Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery

America’s first commercial pretzel bakery.

Founded in 1861 by Julius Sturgis, this historic location is still maintained by the Sturgis family today. Visitors are welcome to tour the facility and learn the history of pretzel making in America – and find pretzels baked with the same old-fashioned techniques pioneered by Julius Sturgis himself.
