Please join us on September 21st.
For an exciting talk about
Whiskey on the Lake
4:00 p.m. Ethan Allen Homestead
Rather than risk being caught along the roads that crisscrossed the United States-Canadian border in New York and Vermont, many professional smugglers and others avoided lawmen altogether by using the open waters of Lake Champlain. Learn how these outlaws smuggled alcohol into the United States from Canada and how the U.S. Customs officers tried their best to stop the seemingly never-ending flow of booze between 1920 and 1933.
Join us for this exciting talk by Dr. Scott McLaughlin! Free Admission
