First-ever prohibition museum opens in Savannah (Boston: crime, house, move)

Sounds like this will be a neat little attraction...

Savannah’s newest museum is filled with room after room of history, depicting decisive points in the push to remove alcohol from American society, from colonial days into the dawn of the industrial era. Black says the temperance movement gained enough steam by time the 1920’s roared in, that alcohol was on it’s way out thanks the 18th Amendment. She says in many ways, prohibition changed the nation forever. But the he negative impacts of prohibition started almost immediately, beginning with the loss of jobs in the alcohol industry. Then there were thousands of deaths with people dying from alcohol poisoning due to liquors made with toxic methods. One of the biggest negatives is how the landscape of crime was forever altered in the United States.

I have a friend who has come down from NYC to work on designing it and several more who are involved in the operation on both the businesss side and as performers (rein-actors). It's a first-class attraction that's gonna be a huge hit with the tourists I imagine. Historic Tours of America (Old Towne Trolleys) had been looking for something else to compliment their business profile in Savannah. They have other attractions like Boston Tea Party and Mallory Square in Key West. At one point they'd considered doing a big haunted house / ghost hunters interactive attraction but I think this is much more unique and appropriate.
