Mixers and Shakers: Tracing Your Tavernkeeping Ancestors

Virtual Program

Taverns and saloons have been a crucial American institution, and the men behind the bar were the social rock stars of their era.

This program will lead you through the pre-prohibition records and resources which will help you add an extra shot of flavor into your research.
