About
Not your average "Dry" Museum, the American Prohibition Museum is the first and only museum in the United States dedicated to the history of Prohibition. While here, 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 fore-front of American politics

We truly enjoyed our guided tour with Emma of the Prohibition Museum. A lot of good information on both positives and negatives of Prohibition on people and the country. The reasons and history of how it began to becoming law, the challenges it created and how people reacted from Medical alcohol uses to Speakeasy’s to gangstersand more. Definite proof that people will find ways to get around the law -as we watch the US change not necessarily positive from Prohibition as was initially "preached." Going undercover basically in the soon to be "roaring twenties" where a lot was changing in the US. Once Prohibition Act is repealed it has another impact on the country. Very informative, educational and fun. Plus, we get a complimentary drink in the Speakeasy.

Very well done museum about prohibition and the controversy surrounding it. There are lots of posters, moviolas, exhibits and examples of such things as prescriptions for booze, mobster involvement and the effects down stream when a business is made illegal. I learned a lot and the tour is self guided. You can get a small drink at the end that is expensive for the amount but worth it.

The American Prohibition Museum was def a great visit! It was easy to get to (right in the Savannah City Market), navigate and provided a terrific history of the Prohibition era. We took tons of pics as everything was so interesting. We did not have drinks, but there is a speakeasy at the end if you want to finish the tour there.

My husband and I had a fun visit here while visiting Savannah. It provides an interesting overview of the history of Prohibition in America, and you can top off your visit with a classic cocktail in the bar. It was well worth a stop.

This was a fun experience for our trip to Savannah, we decided to do the guided tour and I'm so glad we did. Our guide Emma, gave us so much information we never would've gotten from just doing the self-guided tour. Plus with the guided tour you get a cocktail at the end included in the price of your ticket so it is well worth it.

We have an elevator at the front of the museum to get you up to the second level, and them we are fully ADA compliant throughout. Just make sure you let one of the bartenders know when you are completed with your tour so that we can get you back to the elevator. Thanks for the question!

The speakeasy says proper dress required, but I don't see an elaboration of what "proper dress" would be. Can anyone enlighten me?

Our understanding is no problem with what you wear during the day but evenings require a little more thought with regard to possibly being more in tune with the period.

I know a lot of downtown Savannah isn't stroller friendly. Is this facility by chance?
taapm
Savannah, GA
We absolutely are stroller friendly! We have an elevator at the front of the museum and when you are at the end of the tour, just ask any CASTmember or bartender and they can get you back to the front of the museum to the elevator.
