Prohibition in Reno

We’ve turned back the clocks to the 1920s and 30s. We’ll walk streets and alleys and visit significant buildings, recalling Reno’s saloons and reformers (the WCTU and Anti-Saloon League). We’ll even visit an alleged speakeasy for mid-tour refreshments. Then join us for an optional post-tour Repeal of Prohibition celebration at the Amendment 21 Grill, 425 South Virginia Street.
