Aurora After Hours: Oregon Moonshine: Bootleggers, Busts & Brawl

  • Aurora Colony Museum 15018 2nd Street Northeast Aurora, OR, 97002 United States (map)

Moonshining is deep-rooted in the history of Oregon. Over the years, outlaw moonshiners engaged in car chases, shootouts and even attempted an assassination to protect their hidden distilleries--and way of life. Join author Bruce Haney as he chronicles the intoxicating history of Oregon Moonshine.

Enjoy brews, wine, snacks, non-alcoholic refreshments and a late summer-shaded courtyard. Come early and enjoy yard games and reserve your spot!
Doors open at 5:30pm.

Suggested donation $10, members free.
