Join us Woodrow Wilson House on Thursday, May 19th from 6:30-8:30 PM as we toast the launch of author Garrett Peck's new book "Prohibition in Washington, DC: How Dry We Weren't," published by The History Press.

The follow-up to Garrett’s first book, "The Prohibition Hangover: Alcohol in America from Demon Rum to Cult Cabernet," “Prohibition in Washington, DC” is a short history and guidebook on how the noble experiment unraveled in the nation's capital, including 80 images, 11 vintage cocktail recipes, and 5 neighborhood maps to show Washington's Prohibition past as well as a special chapter on Woodrow Wilson’s wine.

Enjoy an after-hours look at the authentically furnished 1920s home and get a special sneak peak at President Wilson’s wine cellar, a rarely seen gem of Prohibition-era history, fully stocked with vintage wines.

Tickets are available now at www.woodrowwilsonhouse.org for $35 and include an open bar and hors d'oeuvres. Copies of the book are available for pre-order from Woodrow Wilson House’s gift shop for a special discounted price of $19.07 tax included.
