Prohibition Stories
Join us March 6
Prohibition was a controversial policy in the early 1900’s that made the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages illegal and was supported by many people. Come learn alongside Central RED at 11:30 a.m. Thursday, March 6, Dave and Ardie Sutphen Common Room, Graham Annex.
Iowa, along with Kansas and Maine, led the way for the passage of the 18th Amendment. Iowa had statewide prohibition in 1916, four years before the national policy of 1920. John Carter, local historian, will share stories from his father who ran a hotel and speakeasy during Prohibition.
