If you think you know the story of Prohibition, think again. Go back in time to the Roaring '20s as costumed actors tell the story of Prohibition and Windsor's connection to gangsters such as Al Capone and the Purple Gang. Learn the bootleggers' secrets and see where they hid out. We'll visit several historic sites as our performers re-enact the fabled past of rum running on the Detroit River, Windsor, Ontario. We'll visit the church made famous by the gun-toting "Fighting Parson" and view the mansions built with rum-running profits. An educational, comical, musical motorcoach tour with great food, humor and music. This is a trip you and your friends are not going to want to miss. Our lunch will be at a re-enacted Speakeasy. This trip includes motor coach transportation from SVSU, Rum Runners tour experience and lunch. You MUST BRING either an "enhanced driver's license" or your passport to cross the U.S./Canada border by motorcoach.
