A century ago the 18th Amendment was passed which prohibited the “manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes” — for 13 years! During this zoom tour we will explore the dynamics that led to this most unusual law and the most interesting ways in which people dealt with it, or worked around it. Since this time also fell into the Great Depression, people had to get quite creative to have a grand time, which many of them definitely did — it is also the roaring 20s and the Jazz age! How did people get their drinks? How did breweries survive? Where were all these speakeasies in NYC and which ones survive? Which are the coolest new bars inspired by that time? How are the Mafia, Nascar and #86 connected? AND how did it finally end?! It is an intriguing story for sure!
All tours are Eastern Time and run about 60 to 90 minutes.
