When Bathtub Gin Was Called Rattlesnake Juice: The Story Of The Rumrunning Days Along The Border.
Tour will run from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m.
Departure from the Conference Hotel
Re-live the days of Prohibition! No better spot in the 20's than the Detroit River for smuggling liquor
and beer into Michigan, Ohio and beyond. Hop on the bus with Marty Gervais, a great raconteur and author
of The Rumrunners: a Prohibition Scrapbook. Revel in the captivating tales of smugglers, bootleggers
and gangsters and their dramatic confrontations with some very determined opponents. You will see and hear
about the whiskey slides and canals, the roadhouses and speakeasies, as well as mansions built 'from the
proceeds'. The afternoon includes an inside tour of the Hiram Walker Distillery head office, now the
Canadian Club Brand Centre. Built in 1892 from a design based on a Florentine Renaissance Palazzo,
it features fine architectural details inside and out and amazing views of the Detroit River and skyline.
There is also a small gallery in the Centre with a fine collection of Group of Seven originals. And the
tour even ends with a whiskey tasting!
