This month's topic: Law & Disorder. Facilitated by staffers of the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum,  this special edition of the Law & Disorder tour concludes with a custom Prohibition-era cocktail at a Downtown speakeasy. The tour explores how Colorado Springs officials fought to remain a “dry town” in “wet times;” the captivating story of how local law enforcement, concerned citizens and the Gazette newspaper worked to run the KKK out of town in the 1920s; and an infamous gun battle with train robbers in the streets of Downtown. PLEASE NOTE: THIS TOUR IS ONLY FOR GUESTS AGE 21 AND UP.
