Description
Williamson County’s deep forests hold a rich history of “bootleggers”, or those who produced illegal liquor. Hard-to-reach places and thick woods helped hide whiskey stills from the prying eyes of federal regulators who looked to crack down on the black market whiskey trade. Timberland Park’s many natural springs would have provided the sine que non (an essential ingredient): clean water for whiskey production. Learn about the fascinating business and characters of “moonshining” and how a whiskey still operated in this unique program.
