Rosslyn During Prohibition
 
Learn about Rosslyn during the Prohibition Era!
Long before the glass high rises of today, 19th-centuray Rosslyn was a backwater village on the Potomac River with a bad reputation for vice. Join the Charlie Clark Center for Local History and Arlington County Park Historian Blake Lindsey for the dramatic story of how the sin-town of Rosslyn gave way to the hustle and affluence of today.
