Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Colorado
The Colorado WCTU was organized in 1880 when there were only three active unions located in Greeley, Evans, and Longmont. It was active in social, economic and legal reform, most notably in woman's suffrage, prison reform, the Cottage Home for unwed mothers, day nurseries, eight-hour work laws and the adoption of prohibition in 1914. The foundation upon which the WCTU stood was total abstinence, prohibition, purity and peace.
