Prohibition Exhibit Opening
29200 Cole Grade Road, Valley Center, 92082
Cost: Free
Prohibition, which banned alcohol for 13 years starting in 1920, is being remembered at the History Museum in Valley Center where an area store was issued one of three original licenses in San Diego County to sell beer on the first day it was legal in 1933. The display commemorates the 85th anniversary of the end of the booze ban on December 5, 1933. The general store known as the Kellogg Store sold its first bottle of beer on that date for 10 cents. The store, which opened in 1920 and remained in business until several years ago, is shown in a vintage photo. The Prohibition remembrance will become a permanent display.
