- **Event Name**: Prohibition in Michigan – How the Waterways Shaped History
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 09 Dec, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Wed, 09 Dec, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Discover how Michigan’s rivers, lakes, and shorelines turned into front-line battlegrounds during the era of the 18th Amendment. The Detroit River, St. Clair River, and Lake Michigan were major smuggling corridors, moving liquor from Canada into cities and small towns alike. From rum-running boats and winter ice routes to organized crime, law enforcement, and everyday citizens who quietly defied the law, we'll take a look at how waterborne networks made Prohibition impossible to fully enforce and ultimately positioned Michigan as a key player in the national fight for repeal.
