Women's Christian Temperance Union Hemphill County Library
Plains Trail Region
The Women's Christian Temperance Union Chapter is the only building in the United States ever built, owned or maintained by a local Union Chapter. The Chapter formed in 1902, began holding bazaars in 1906 to pay for construction, and the two story brick structure with a basement was completed in 1911. The Christmas bazaar, now a centruy old tradition, is hosted by local volunteers and continues to provide for the Hemphill County Library housed in the building.
