Emi brought the museum to life. Dressed for the era. Her knowledge and energy electrified the pictures & props. - A walking tour which you could be self guided or have a tour guide. Emi was our tour guide she used props and pictures to bring you down a time line, while explaining the influences of how prohibition came and went. She takes the-one paragraph mention of prohibition in your high school history book and turns into a in search of the present class with reference to money, sports, and government. Thanks for the history lesson Emi.

Well done! - Looking for things to do in Savannah we ran across the only Prohibition Museum in the country so we felt we had to check it out. I would recommend booking a tour in advance if possible. It is small and books up quickly. Thankfully we made it in for a self guided tour without an advanced booking. The museum has a lot of great info laid out well for learning about the prohibition era. I enjoyed it so much I would return if in the area again.
