Episode Synopsis

Send us a textDid you know that in the 1880's a little riverside town in Illinois was supposedly the whiskey capital of the world? And people claim that in the 1880's, Peroria made more whiskey than ever before. They had the standard elements--good water, plenty of corn and barley, and the railroads--along with the rise of the Whiskey Trust. So, tune in as Kurt and Sarah explore the rise and fall of Peoria, the original hub of whiskey in the United States.
