When Prohibition began in 1920, the intent was to make the country dry, however, the amendment actually did the opposite. Supposedly, for every bar that closed down, three speakeasies opened in its place. New Jersey claimed there were ten times as many bars after Prohibition than before. Embrace your inner rebel and attend the Speakeasy on Saturday, April 28, 2018 at the Rutherford Public Library. Hosted by the Rutherford Public Library Foundation,
