Discover Old Moonshine Stills Along Shootin' Creek If Franklin County, Virginia was the so-called Moonshine Capital of the world during Prohibition in the 1920'S, then Shootin' Creek - located in the southwest corner of the county - might qualify as the Moonshine Capital of Franklin County. In T. Keister Greer's book, The Great Moonshine Conspiracy Trial OF 1935, he mentions Shootin' Creek no less than eight times as a center of moonshining and revenuer raids. One revenue agent testified to cutting up more than 30 moonshine stills at Shootin' Creek in a space of 90 days.
