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”. |
