The American Prohibition Museum, located in Savannah's City Market, is the first and only museum in the United States dedicated to the history of Prohibition. While here, self-guided guests will travel back in time to the early 1900s, as anti-alcohol rallies swept the nation and the “booze problem” was pushed to the forefront of American politics. The true story of America’s struggle with the liquor question, the passing of the 18th Amendment, its impact on the nation, and the far-reaching consequences of the 13 years of Prohibition all come to life within the walls of the American Prohibition Museum.

we had a disabled friend with us and she could not enjoy the tour because the elevator was not working . I notified Viator and they refunded my money for the two of them . Very good to work with.

The Prohibition Museum was more comprehensive than expected. It has well displayed information from the temperance movement to the birth of NASCAR.

I felt this place was over priced for it's size. We went through it in under an hour. If stairs are a problem you might want to call ahead as the elevator was out of order when we were there. The end of the tour had a speakeasy but the drinks were over priced in my opinion.

Lots of interesting information and exhibits! Bartenders were not very friendly and drinks - Sidecars - were not very good and no napkins for drinks. Speakeasy was a big disappointment!
