News @ Noon: Stearns Museum Holds Prohibition Event At Anton’s [INTERVIEW]
ST. CLOUD - The Stearns History Museum held a unique event last (Monday) night at Aton's Restaurant in Wiate Park.
A crowd of about 90 people attended their first-ever "Stills & Swills A Taste Of Prohibition" event.
The night included a brief history of Anton's Restaurant from owner Dave Gaetz, including it's infamous days as a local speak easy.
There was some whiskey and moonshine tasting.
And the night was capped off with a presentation by Elaine Davis, the author of the book "Minnesota 13: Stearns County's Wet Wild Prohibition Days"
