American Prohibition Museum
The Basics
America’s only Prohibition museum offers exhibits that cover this era in the country’s history from the Temperance Movement through the Great Repeal. Immerse yourself in the world of bathtub gin and smugglers, then take a cocktail class at the museum’s speakeasy—or just relax with a craft cocktail at the swanky bar. For a full-day cultural excursion, you can opt for a trolley tour of the Savannah Historic District that includes admission to the museum.
