Connecticut & Prohibition: Bootlegging in the Nutmeg State

Find out what Connecticut was like in the Roaring 20's! When the U.S. decided that alcohol was no longer benefiting society, every state – except two – voted to amend to the Constitution to outlaw the manufacturing and sale of liquor. Connecticut did not support the change. When the ban on booze became the law of the land, many people in the state - including those in Wallingford - found creative means around it and the Long Island Sound coastline afforded many opportunities for bootleggers. Hear the whole story through a presentation by Mike Allen, the producer and host of the podcast Amazing Tales from Off and On Connecticut’s Beaten Path.
