Driving Directions

Characters tell the story of moonshining in Franklin County. Learn how they made it and why - and some of the more amusing consequences. Actors & interpreters speak about Prohibition, local barrooms, likker makers and drinkers. Ride a vintage tour bus, stopping at 18 scenes around town. Automobiles and folks in period dress dot the streets. See our replica moonshine distillery & let a veteran of the trade tell you how it operated. Meet folks from both sides of the law, hear from the most famous lady rum runner of her time and hear "church women" decry Demon Rum. It's not against the law to talk about making liquor - and that's what we do! 5th annual tour. Choose your departure time for an approximate 1 1/2-hour tour. Rain or shine. A mini fair included this year with vendors offering items associated with local liquid industry.
