Sunday Lecture: The Liquor Wars

Thank you, Dr. William Marchione, for yesterday’s fascinating lecture about Smyrna's and Cobb County's relationship with alcohol. The presentation covered the production and sale of alcoholic beverages and how it was one of the most divisive political issue Cobb County faced from its foundation in the 1830s to well into the 20th century.  Dr. Marchione also examined the strident and often violent history of liquor regulation in Cobb County, with particular emphasis on Smyrna and vicinity.

Sunday Lectures are sponsored by the Friends of Smyrna Library.
