— WHAT'S NEW IN HAMPTON — |
Prohibition exhibit highlights the city's past |
The Hampton History Museum's newest exhibit offers visitors an incomparable and exciting view of Hampton’s Prohibition story. Come explore the captivating and daring tales of local Hamptonians and their defiance of Prohibition's tough alcohol laws.
On November 1, 1916, Virginia breweries and distilleries closed their doors as the state began a grand experiment in Prohibition. Hampton's own Prohibition story differs in distinct and unexpected ways. This exhibit combines content from the Library of Virginia with research and artifacts from the Hampton History Museum on the local experience.
