The Historic Stranahan House Museum celebrates St. Patrick’s Day with a History Happy Hour focused on South Florida’s bootlegging era.
History Happy Hour: Hypocrite’s Row - How South Florida Mocked Prohibition is Tuesday, March 17 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wine, speakeasies, rumrunners and gangsters were a fact of life in South Florida during the Prohibition years. As the rest of the country was going dry, South Florida became a hub for the illegal alcohol trade, even expanding internationally with the help of its Caribbean neighbors. Palm Beach Post reporter Eliot Kleinberg takes a deep dive into this wild, bootlegging period in South Florida’s history.
Complimentary desserts courtesy of TooJay’s Deli and wine courtesy of Ocean Wine & Spirits will be served. All proceeds support the ongoing historic preservation of the local landmark and help fund the museum’s educational programs, including reduced-rate and free school programs for local students.
Tickets are $15 for Historic Stranahan House Museum members and $20 for non-members. Tickets are available at www.tinyurl.com/
