Midnight Rum: Long Island and Prohibition

May 31, 2017

On Wed, May 31st, the Historical Society of Islip Hamlet will host Jonathan Olly, Assistant Curator of the LI Museum and his presentation of the museum's current exhibit "Midnight Rum: Long Island and Prohibition".  The story of Prohibition on Long Island is an opportunity to look at an important chapter of our history as experienced
through the lives of New Yorkers, both rural and urban. The thirteen-year “noble experiment” was rooted in more than a century of activism by temperance advocates who sought to first limit alcohol consumption and then ban it entirely. From New York City in the west to the coastal villages on the North and South Forks, Prohibition affected nearly everyone living on Long Island during this time. During these “dry” years, Long Island and its adjacent waters were integral to New York City’s drinking culture. Large breweries in Brooklyn switched to making near beer; enterprising residents tried making their own beer, wine, and liquor; while others smuggled in foreign alcohol through Long Island’s waterways and harbors (including those who resided in Islip). From cocktails to crime, the era has left an indelible impression on American culture.   

The program will be held at the Islip Public Library, 71 Monell Ave., 7-9 pm and is free and open to the public; refreshments.
