Can't say about Jimtown, but Ward and Peaceful Valley have never been dry. At one time there were seven saloons in Allenspark. But I remember in the late 1960's, Allenspark residents opposed approval of a retail liquor license for the Ferncliff Store. A few years later, Ferncliff owner Don Kvols finally broke through the prohibitionist backlog, winning enough local friends and support to sell wine, beer, and spirits.
