Psst… The Speakeasy Is Back in Cecil County!
Step back into the Roaring Twenties! In a November 12 Cecil TV interview with Rob Chirnside, Historical Society of Cecil County President Paula Newton previews a special Speakeasy event on Saturday, December 5, from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Society’s headquarters, 135 East Main Street in Elkton.
The evening will recreate the atmosphere of Prohibition-era speakeasies, complete with period cocktails, appetizers, nonalcoholic refreshments, and guests encouraged to dress as flappers, gangsters, moonshiners, or temperance advocates. The event complements a planned Historical Society exhibit exploring both sides of Prohibition in Cecil County, from bootleggers to the temperance movement.
Tickets are $60, with attendance limited to 60 guests. And just like the speakeasies of the 1920s, you’ll need a password to get in! For tickets, contact the Historical Society at 410-398-1790.
