"Our Best Endeavors:" Temperance and Prohibition in the Champlain Valley

Feb 27, 6:30pm Lake Champlain Basin Program Offices, 54 West Shore Road

Join Susan Evans McClure, Executive Director of Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, to explore the history and legacy of temperance and prohibition in the Champlain Valley. How did the Champlain Valley go from being a major producer and consumer of alcohol in the early 1800s to a hotbed of temperance sentiment by the mid-19th century? And what can this all help us understand about the tension between regulation and personal freedom that plays out in our society today?
