Description

A few Bardstown, Kentucky residents argued for an alcohol ban as early because the mid-1800s even supposing whiskey and bourbon were native staples. When Prohibition in any case arrived, independent and creative residents secretly kept the town wet. A deacon once stored whiskey in a baptismal pool. Seventy-year-old Aunt Be-At Hurst allegedly made her homebrew out of her bath. A few locals even burned distillery warehouses to hide up thefts. Crime ran so rampant that revenue collector Robert H. Lucas threatened to have the governor summon the state militia. Sign up for historians Dixie Hibbs and Doris Settles as they detail the history of Bardstown booze.
