The entrance immediately transports you to the era just preceding Prohibition, which lasted from 1920 to 1933. A larger-than-life 1918 street scene depicts a truck loaded with alcohol being prevented from moving by an angry crowd of protesters. They sport signs that read “Liquor is a curse,” “Alcohol is poison,” and “Bread not beer,” and feel uncomfortably reminiscent of today.
Welcome to the Prohibition Museum in Savannah, Georgia, the only museum of its kind in the country, where you don’t just learn about Prohibition, you actually relive it. The visit is only one of the many enticing land excursions aboard American Cruise Lines Intra-Coastal Waterway Cruise from Amelia Island, Florida, to Charleston, South Carolina—also the only cruise of its kind in the country.
