THE RUM RUNNERS TOUR TIMELINE
Your bus door opens, and in struts Benny da Weasel, a slick fella straight outta the Roaring Twenties, on the run from the law for something he swears he didn’t do. He’s ready to welcome you to Windsor with a sip of local whiskey when—bam! A newsboy crashes the party, shouting, “U.S. Government Ratifies Prohibition!” Benny quickly caps the bottle, winks, and says, “No worries, I know where to get more. Driver, to the waterfront!”
As you roll through town, Benny and Yorkie the newsboy spill secrets of the bootleggers—how they smuggled booze across the river, their hideouts, and speakeasies where Al Capone made his deals. In Old Sandwich Towne, you’ll visit Mackenzie Hall, hear tales of crooked cops, and maybe meet one yourself!
When you visit Bedford United Church, you’ll be welcomed by the Women’s Temperance Movement and learn about The Fighting Parson—a preacher who carried a gun and fought bootleggers using his fists and fire. Before you can say Speakeasy, you have become an accomplice in the Rum Runners Tour – There’s Nothing Like It!
After your whirlwind bus tour, the fun’s just getting started! Step into our Speakeasy, where you’ll be greeted with a hot meal and plenty of entertainment.
As you enjoy yourself, you will learn about how Speakeasies thrived right under the cops’ noses, especially along the waterfront. You’ll hear tales of hidden tunnels, secret rooms, and even local politicians who got in on the action. We’re sure you’re going to feel like you’ve received a deal you couldn’t refuse.
Of course, no Speakeasy’s complete without music! Our band will dazzle you with tunes from the era—feel free to belt out a few notes if you’ve got the guts! But keep your peepers peeled for the fuzz—this joint could get raided any minute! So, eat, drink, and be merry…while you still can!
