THE PROHIBITION ROOM

The Prohibition Room was added to the original General Stanton Inn during the roaring 1920's to accommodate rum runners and illicit gamblers. Back in the day the likes of John Rockefeller, Diamond Jim Brady and Al Capone partied in Gatsby-like fashion into the wee hours. Today, guests in this dining room enjoy a white tablecloth, soft-lighting setting, with smooth 1930's jazz to enhance the dining experience.
