SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS

Currently on view: "The Red Wing Saloon:"

This exhibit shows what a pre-prohibition saloon looked like prior to January 16, 1920 when the 18th Amendment was passed. Red Wing produced many liquor advertising stoneware jugs for sellers - in one month alone in 1910 the pottery shipped more than 6400.

Then see a bootlegger's camp as liquor "went underground" and was not able to be sold publicly.
