The American Prohibition Museum - Savannah GA
See more at
The prohibition era was a tumultuous time in American history. From those in favor of to those against, combined with the people who made millions of dollars defying the ban, conflict was rampant. One thing was certain: There was a ban in place, and it was not working. In Savannah GA, there is a museum dedicated to telling the whole story of the prohibition era, which is much more than you read in the history books! A trip to the American Prohibition Museum – the ONLY museum in the United States dedicated to this era – will enlighten you with their life-like wax figures and exciting multimedia exhibits. It is a sensational place to visit, and we can’t wait to return!
EPISODE TRANSCRIPT
Times were tough during the late 1920s and the Great Depression era. There were no jobs; banks were closing and people were hungry. What’s worse? They couldn’t even legally drown their sorrows with a cold drink of alcohol!
Prohibition, as it was known, banned the manufacture, transportation and sale of intoxicating liquors in America from 1919-1933. Ratified on January 29, 1919, the 18th Amendment made it a legal piece of legislation. But, even before 1919, there was a movement under foot to ban booze, beer, wine and the lot from American society. Many thought that intoxicating drinks were the devil’s work. These evil spirits caused good men to go bad and families to shatter. One such person was Carry A. Nation. In the early 1900s, Carry felt it was her mission and a calling from God to stop people from drinking alcohol. She prayed and sang hymns in front of bars, and soon they closed. When that didn’t work, she started carrying a small hatchet, and upon entering the business, would attack the bar until patrons stopped her from the destruction.
You gotta admit, this must have gotten some attention!
Both local and federal government struggled to enforce Prohibition. The thinking behind prohibiting the creation and sale of alcohol was well intended, but the end result meant unregulated moonshine, bootleggers, speakeasies and gangsters.
Mobsters like Al Capone made an amazing $60 million annually from bootleg operations and speakeasies. That is equivalent to almost $900 million in today’s dollars!
What ended prohibition? Probably the fact that it wasn’t really working, and in the process, was helping to fuel mobster income and illegal sales. In 1933, the 21st Amendment to the Constitution was passed, and it became legal to create and distribute alcohol again.
And today, I am here in Savannah Georgia at the American Prohibition Museum. Within this museum are exhibits, galleries and many facts about a very dry period in American history. It is a great place to explore and learn about a time in history when having a drink could mean going to jail. Thanks for watching! We’ll see you next time on Stories, Secrets and Sagas.

Places to see in ( Savannah - USA )
Savannah, a coastal Georgia city, is separated from South Carolina by the Savannah River. It’s known for manicured parks, horse-drawn carriages and antebellum architecture. Its historic district is filled with cobblestoned squares and parks such as Forsyth Park shaded by oak trees covered with Spanish moss. At the center of this picturesque district is the landmark, Gothic-Revival Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist.
Each year Savannah attracts millions of visitors to its cobblestone streets, parks, and notable historic buildings: the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low (founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA), the Georgia Historical Society (the oldest continually operating historical society in the South), the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences (one of the South's first public museums), the First African Baptist Church (one of the oldest African-American Baptist congregations in the United States), Temple Mickve Israel (the third oldest synagogue in America), and the Central of Georgia Railway roundhouse complex (the oldest standing antebellum rail facility in America).
Savannah's downtown area, which includes the Savannah Historic District, the Savannah Victorian Historic District, and 22 parklike squares, is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the United States (designated by the U.S. government in 1966). Downtown Savannah largely retains the original town plan prescribed by founder James Oglethorpe (a design now known as the Oglethorpe Plan). Savannah was the host city for the sailing competitions during the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta.
Savannah is known as the 'Hostess City of the South' – and a good hostess will stuff you to the gills with all things battered and fried before sending you on your merry way. This is a city where people come to indulge in decadent, traditional Southern and soul food, but top chefs are also reimagining things with a 'New South' cuisine, where classic themes and ingredients meet innovative preparations. With Savannah's proximity to the ocean, seafood features heavily on most menus, and good grub doesn't stop at Southern staples – fans of diverse international fare can find great options, too.
Dubbed the Creative Coast (with a local entrepreneurial organization of the same name), Savannah boasts a vibrant arts and design scene that's fueled not only by the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD), one of the finest art schools in the country with students and faculty from far and wide; but also bolstered by the natives and transplants whose initiatives make the arts more inclusive and accessible. From superb museums and galleries in the Historic District to the Starland section between Midtown and the Victorian District catering to locally crafted pursuits, creativity is the lifeblood coursing through Savannah's artsy heart.
