Leadership Westerville Project Highlights Dry History

The 2012 Leadership Westerville Class is working to commemorate the Prohibition movement with a special sculpture. The group's goal is to produce a work of art which will remind residents and visitors about the important role Westerville and the Anti-Saloon League played in the passage of the 18th Amendment to the Constitution.

The inspiration for the sculpture was a 1921 photo entitled, "New York city Deputy Police Commissioner John A. Leach watching agents pour liquor into the sewer following a raid at the height of prohibition." The sculpture will be located in front and to the north of the entry of Westerville City Hall in what is now the City's bicentennial park.
