LCGS September Membership Meeting - In person and via Zoom
Mixers and Shakers – Tracing Your Bootlegging, Shimmy-Shaking, and Repeal-Seeking Ancestors During and After Prohibition with Debra Dudek
Free event - everyone is welcome - learn how to expand your family history knowledge
Temperance advocates celebrated victory when America went dry in 1920. For a short time, the great experiment appeared to curb the ills associated with imbibing alcohol. However, American drinking culture moved to private clubs, home production, and overtly shady acquisition. This program will lead you through an assortment of Prohibition and post-repeal-day resources that will help demystify your ancestor’s relationship with alcohol from 1920-1933. Second lecture in a two-part series.
There are two ways to attend. Join us at the Fort Myers Regional Library, Meeting Room A, at 1651 Lee St., Fort Myers, FL. OR participate online via Zoom.
