By the time prohibition was the law of the land in the U.S., Nebraska had been "dry" for two years and organized crime syndicates had established a well-oiled machine to turn profits. Local and federal authorities spent years putting together a case that ultimately brought down the "kingpin" of Omaha’s crime scene, Tom Dennison. This tour, based on Dennison’s 1931 federal indictment, takes a look at hotels, speakeasies and other key locations in prohibition-era Omaha.
