Join NCHGS for a walking tour of the hideouts and safe havens of organized crime, vice, and illegal indulgences of the Prohibition Era!
With a reputation that earned it the nickname "The Little Apple", Easton became a hotbed of resistance to Prohibition. But what was it about this little city, nestled at the banks of two major rivers, that allowed it to become both a gathering place and a gateway - a city of contradictions?
Based on newspaper accounts, first-person interviews, and photos and documents from the NCHGS archives, join us to visit the sites of some of the most notorious brothels, breweries, and back-alley speakeasies in Easton's unforgettable history.
"From Spirits to Speakeasies" is offered on the fourth Friday of the month. Tickets are $20.00 per person. Tours last approximately 2 hours. Please be advised that the walking route does include minor hills and crossing major intersections.
This tour is not recommended for children under 12 years old.
P lease note that tours may be rescheduled for inclement weather!
Private tours may be scheduled upon request. Please contact Sarah White, Community Engagement Coordinator, at NCHGS at 610-253-1222 or sarah@northamptonctymuseum.org.
