American Prohibition Museum In Savannah, GA Is A Great Trip

Prohibition was a unique time period in the United States that many people don’t know a lot about. Nationwide Prohibition only lasted for about 13 years, but it had a surprisingly big effect on our culture and society that still echoes today. I recently checked out the American Prohibition Museum in Savannah, GA and was shocked to learn it was the country’s only museum that focuses on this era. Uniqueness aside, this is a fascinating museum that contains a wealth of information. There’s a lot of things to do in Savannah and with all the restaurants, history, and natural beauty to explore, it’s easy for great attractions to fall through the cracks. I’m here to tell you the American Prohibition Museum definitely belongs on your “must-do in Savannah” list: this place is so interesting! Let’s check it out:

You'll find the American Prohibition Museum right in the heart of City Market, a charming little shopping district in downtown Savannah filled with shops, bars, and restaurants.

One of my favorite things about the American Prohibition Museum is that there's a huge variety of artifacts here so you don't get bored.

You'll find lots of life-sized displays with wax figures depicting protestors, bootleggers, and more.

You'll also see plenty of political cartoons that provide great insight into what the public was thinking at the time.

Of course, there are also antiques like alcohol bottles, signs, and more.

Another cool thing about the museum is just how much it encompasses. You'll see models of bars destroyed by protestors, information about religious leaders of the time, and more.

There's even a fascinating area where you can learn about how the Prohibition era would eventually lead to the advent of Nascar.

If all that talk of alcohol has you thirsty, don't fear! At the end of your self-guided museum tour, you'll walk through Congress Street Up, a speakeasy-style bar serving up tasty libations.
