Learn what you need to know at Bootlegger Bootcamp, then learn a history of prohibition in Port Huron as we bar crawl off the beaten path
Pssst. Hey pal! You know where I can get a drink around here?
The Blue Water area is filled to the brim with stories of prohibition, rum running and police raids. Form 1919 to 1933, the Volstead Act made the country dry...on paper. Learn all about what it was like to be a bootlegger, how they smuggled booze from Canada or just made their own. Then board the trolley for a bar crawl off the beaten path and learn about the history of drinking around the Port Huron. Here tales of crime, fortunes made and lost and why the very best bootleggers don't give up their secrets easily...
You may have seen the tours LIVE! on Facebook, but now you can see them in person! Join Historian Andrew Kercher on a drive and walk through the Blue Water Area to find out more about the history in your own backyard. Hear the fascinating histories of the buildings you drive past everyday and the lives and times of the figures our streets are named for. Each tour is uniquely themed and they are all different, so reserve your seat on the trolley today!
