The Whiskey Tree

Description

Nestled deep within the Honey Island Swamp at the peak of the prohibition era, stood an extra ordinary meeting place known as The Whiskey Tree. Secluded and inaccessible by road this spot drew moonshiners who sought refuge from the prying eyes of law enforcement.
Pirogues and round bottom boats, stealthily gathered under the sheltering branches of the bald cypress tree; their occupants eager to maintain a step ahead of the authorities. Though prohibition has long since ended, the legend of The Whiskey Tree lives on, as visitors to this hallowed site can still hear the echoes of past moonshiners and the faint whispers of departing boats that once ventured into the darkness.
