Your Experience

Journey Through 200 Years of American History

Right from the moment you enter the museum, you will be transported to the world of infamous gangsters and criminals of the 20th century. With more than 20 state-of-the-art exhibits and an authentic speakeasy tavern, this is not your average "dry museum". American Prohibition Museum brings the roaring twenties back to life by highlighting a time of flappers, bootlegging, and gangsters. The museum transports visitors back to the early 1900s when anti-alcohol protests swept the nation, and America's battle with alcohol came to the forefront, using cutting-edge technology and immersive exhibits.

Learn the true story behind America's struggle against liqour, the passing of the 18th Amendment, and the far-reaching consequences of the 13 years of Prohibition.
