TRAVEL BACK IN TIME TO THE "ROARING TWENTIES"

In the decade preceding the Great Depression, America was anything but, and the economic prosperity the country was experiencing created an atmosphere of celebration that even a nationwide ban on alcohol would not stop. Start today's tour by visiting the only museum in the country dedicated to the story of prohibition in America—Savannah’s very own American Prohibition Museum.

EXPLORE THE INNOVATIVE EXHIBITS

Explore the innovative exhibits housed in the 6000-square foot American Prohibition Museum, featuring thirteen galleries, vintage cars, and even a functioning speakeasy. Learn the entire story behind the prohibition era in the United States, from moonshine making to flappers, and the crime bosses of black-market booze.

VISIT THE MUSEUM'S SPEAKEASY

After you uncover the history of the American prohibition, partake in a tradition of the era by visiting the museum’s very own speakeasy. In the 1920’s, speakeasies were hidden bars where many would go to enjoy lively nights of drinking and jazz. Step inside for a private and exclusive experience, enjoy a drink and absorb the atmosphere as you see an example of what the underground scene would look like during prohibition.

MAKE YOUR WAY BACK TO THE MODERN ERA

After your secret sampling, make your way back into the modern era with a visit to a local Savannah favorite, New Realm Brewing Company. Founded in 2016, New Realm is a craft brewery and distillery that has quickly gained notoriety for their booze, brews, and food.
