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”. |
