Ludlow Tent Colony Site, Labor movement memorial site in Colorado, United States.
The Ludlow Tent Colony Site contains remnants of temporary shelters where coal miners and their families lived during the 1913-1914 strike against mining companies.
In April 1914, the Colorado National Guard and private militia attacked the tent colony, resulting in the deaths of twenty people, including eleven children and two women.
The memorial site stands as a testament to the American labor movement and represents a turning point in the development of workers' rights legislation.
Visitors can access interpretive displays, historical markers, and a granite monument that details the events of the Colorado Coalfield War at this National Historic Landmark.
The site preserves physical evidence of the tent foundations where mining families sought refuge, including the cellar where women and children lost their lives.
