Description

Efforts to ban alcohol began in the 1700s. By 1919, Connecticut was one of two states that voted against Prohibition. In conjunction with our exhibition Building an American Voice, join the Fairfield Museum’s Program Coordinator Walt Matis to explore the moments that led to the 18th amendment and to dive into Fairfield and Bridgeport during the Prohibition era.
