A Community Partner Program. For Adults. Registration required.

Step back into the Roaring Twenties, when Prohibition transformed the Detroit River into one of the busiest smuggling routes of the era. Discover how Windsor-Essex became a rum-running powerhouse, the ingenious methods used to move illegal liquor across the border, and the colourful stories, close calls and larger-than-life characters that emerged along the way.

From hidden booze and secret signals to fast boats, frozen rivers and daring cross-border schemes, Whisky, Water & Wild Times brings one of the most fascinating chapters in Windsor-Essex history to life.
