The program will open the museum’s newest exhibit on Prohibition and examine how the Champlain Valley went from being a major producer and consumer of alcohol in the early 1800s to a hotbed of temperance sentiment by the mid-19th century.

The program is free to the public, and will be held outdoors at the Hancock House, located at 6 Moses Circle, Ticonderoga. Program attendance will be limited to 35 and reservations are required.

Reservations may be made by calling the Hancock House at (518) 585-7868 or via e-mail to tihistory@bridgepoint1.com.
