Dry Spell: Milton in the Prohibition Years
For thirteen years, the US went “dry” due to the passing of the 18th Amendment in 1920. Learn how Prohibition impacted Milton – from the 1920’s to the present. Highlights of the exhibit include Prohibition-era “moonshine” bottles, a still used both legally and illegally, and an original Dogfish Head Brewery brew kettle. Plus see if your ancestors signed the petition in support of Prohibition! Copies of the original petitions are on display.
