Event Details

Hop in your jalopy and come out to Pickering Museum Village for a self-guided tour!  Journey back in time to the Roaring 1920s to hear Pickering's toe-tapping music scene and see how the dry days of prohibition led to bootlegging.

Presented as part of Drama in Durham:  War on Whiskey tours through South Durham.  After your visit to the museum, download the Temperance & Temptation podcast and self-guide driving tour to visit local micro breweries. Learn how the Bluenoses who supported Temperance openly clashed with the bootleggers and moonshiners who defied the movement.

This program is done entirely on your own with your group of up to 4 guests.  Price is $30 plus tax per group, not per person.  Tour is approximately 1.5 hour in length.  Please note this walking tour includes gravel pathways and uneven ground.  The tour takes place outdoors and will only be rescheduled in the instance of dangerous weather.  Recommended for ages 10 year and older.
