🔒🥃 Prohibition in Oshkosh 🥃🔒In 1920, the law said “no.”
Oshkosh said pour another.
Behind unmarked doors and basement staircases, speakeasies thrived, bootleggers moved fast, and wildcat breweries kept the city wet. Prohibition didn’t stop Oshkosh — it pushed it underground.
Step inside for an evening with historian Lee Reiherzer as he uncovers the hidden bars, secret operations, and rebellious spirit that refused to go dry.
