ππ₯ Prohibition in Oshkosh π₯πIn 1920, the law said βno.β
Oshkosh said pour another.
Behind unmarked doors and basement staircases, speakeasies thrived, bootleggers moved fast, and wildcat breweries kept the city wet. Prohibition didnβt stop Oshkosh β it pushed it underground.
Step inside for an evening with historian Lee Reiherzer as he uncovers the hidden bars, secret operations, and rebellious spirit that refused to go dry.
