History of “Vinegar Hill”
Prior to
the repeal of the eighteenth amendment (prohibition) in
1933, Mt. Pulaski stayed “wet” longer than the surrounding
“dry” towns. Since Mt. Pulaski had thirteen prosperous
saloons and a few bootleggers, the railroads brought
customers into town from every direction. They would come
with empty flasks and leave with full ones. Upon nearing
town, the conductor would call out “Vinegar Hill next
stop”. Thus, the town earned the nickname, “Vinegar Hill”. |
