The museum of the anti-sedan league is the permanent testimony of a period now long gone. Located inside the library in Westerville, Ohio, it houses important artifacts and memorabilia from the Prohibition era. At the height of its popularity, the league was a national organization that boasted branches throughout the United States. Together with various Christian organizations, the League was able to mobilize resources that allowed it to take the fight against prohibition to Congress and the Senate. Group tours and presentations expose curious visitors to the inner workings of the league. Video footage taken from the top of the organization's power allows viewers to explore the conditions that led to the enforcement of the alcohol ban on such a scale. Newspaper clippings detailing speakeasy closures and police clashes with moonshine runners hang along the museum's walls. Both prohibition and NASCAR began as a means to solve some problems affecting society. Prohibition was the result of the tireless effort of the temperance movement which continually defended the use of alcohol and other intoxicating substances in American society. The stock car was born as a reactionary measure to counter the ban on alcohol and spirits. At first, the intended audience for stock car racing included individuals connected to the underworld, as these are the groups that would be present when the competitions were held. With the advent of the sport's growing popularity and legalization, NASCAR currently holds the enviable title of being the most watched sport by spectators in the United States.5 ___________________________________________________________________________________________4.
