Join LancasterHistory at the Horse Inn for a History Happy Hour celebrating this 104-year-old Lancaster City restaurant and its rich history! Ever wonder why the Horse Inn is down an alley and up a steep flight of stairs? Or why it looks like it was once a stable? The answers lie in the restaurant’s origins during the Prohibition Era when alcohol was illegal, but good times were not. Over delicious drinks and tasty snacks, you’ll learn about a cast of characters that includes the women of the temperance movement, Congressman William Walton Griest, and William Shaub whose stable became this beloved restaurant. We’ll put the Horse Inn in context by sharing the story of the activism that led to the 18^th Amendment, the corruption that followed its passage, and the impact that the ban on alcohol had on American society.

The doors (and bar) open at 5:30pm at The Horse Inn on Monday, January 29. The program will begin at 6pm. Attendees are welcome to stay until 7pm.

Ticket purchase includes admission to the program, light refreshments, and one complimentary beverage. (Please note that additional drinks, additional food, and merchandise are not included in the purchase of a ticket.) Event is suggested for ages 18 or older, and individuals must be 21 years or older to consume adult beverages.
