Located in Westerville, Ohio, once called the "Dry Capital of the World". Westerville was still a dry town until 2006.

The Anti-Saloon League pushed for a Constitution amendment outlawing alcohol by distributing printed materials and lobbying. The Westerville Public Library gained ownership of the former headquarters and documents in 1973. They built the current library adjacent to the Anti-Saloon League and incorporated the headquarters into their building. You can gain access to the museum through the library.

More information can be found at The Westerville Public Library which has historical information and some of the printed materials online, Ohio History Central, publichistory.org, and Wikipedia.
