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!
