In addition to being right off I-70, the location offers a gateway to a rich history of whiskey-making, infamous prohibition-era bootlegging gangs like the Sheltons and the Birger gang, and of course, Abraham Lincoln. Abe wasn’t known to be much of a drinker, but his father was known for making great liquor. In the late 1800s there were two distilleries in Vandalia: one made brandy, the other made whiskey. Most aren’t aware that before Prohibition, Illinois produced more distilled spirits than any other state. With your help, we’re determined to relive a little of that history.
