Denver Miners’ Club

The Denver Miners’ Club, founded in 1890, was a social and advocacy organization for miners and their families during Colorado’s gold and silver boom. It provided a community space for support, education, and representation of miners’ interests amid the often harsh and dangerous conditions of mining life. The club played a key role in advocating for safer working conditions, fair wages, and miners’ rights, contributing to community cohesion and political influence within Denver’s mining regions. It helped miners organize collectively and promoted social activities, fostering solidarity among working-class coalitions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
