The La Porte County Historical Society Museum will host “Hoosiers & Their Hooch: Perspectives on Prohibition\,” one of the Indiana Historical Society’s traveling exhibits\, from March 5\, 2020 to April 2\, 2020. The exhibit features the rise and fall of prohibition in Indiana and throughout the country\, and spans the dawn of the temperance movement of the 1900s\, the roaring 1920s\, and the unprecedented repeal of a constitutional amendment during the Great Depression. The sights\, sounds and experiences of the time period are brought to life by images and graphics from IHS’s collections. In addition\, the era’s conflicting cultures are demonstrated through colorful historic figures such as Edward S. Shumaker of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League\, as well as the bootleggers\, moonshiners and bathtub gin distillers who found their way around the law in Indiana. “Hoosiers & Their Hooch: Perspectives on Prohibition” is made possible by Kroger.
