If you’re on the hunt for artifacts garnished with a splash of story-telling and twist of imagery, then look no further than the Two Mississippi Museums - The Museum of Mississippi History and the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum - in Jackson, MS. The Two Mississippi Museums have debuted a new exhibit entitled Mississippi Distilled: Prohibition, Piety, and Politics. Not only does this prohibition exhibition show our state’s turbulent relationship with wine and spirits, but it also reveals the science behind ancient alcohols and the role prohibition played in today’s culture. “Prohibition in Mississippi was about more than outlawing alcohol,” Pamela D.C. Junior, director of the Two Mississippi Museums, shared with the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. “This amazing exhibit shows how women’s rights, alcohol, and religion came together at a critical moment in history and continue to impact Mississippi to this day.”
