Bars and Brothels: Livingston's Lively Legacy

Jul 15 - Sep 9

LT Pick

Tour begins on the corner of Park and Main Streets, in front of the Livingston Bar and Grille, on Thursday evenings. The tour features the history of several downtown bars and their owners; the Red Light District on South B Street; and other historic buildings. Learn how bars reinvented themselves during Prohibition from 1918-1933; what changes occurred for long-standing brothel operations in 1948; how the Livingston “Riot” of 1985 erupted in the alley behind the Wrangler and the Longbranch, and more.
Tours are led by museum staff and volunteers. Each tour is about 1.5 hours long with multiple stops along the way. Please arrive 10 minutes early if possible. Sturdy shoes, water, sunscreen, and a light jacket are recommended.
