- We are having a "Beards and Bonnets" challenge to see who can grow the best beard and make the best bonnet! Events details will be announced at a later date.
- The Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum is paying tribute to Gen. Palmer with a new exhibit showcasing recently unearthed artifacts from his Glen Eyrie home, pictured below. Find out more about the exhibits.
- A local photographer is creating Then & Now photos, as he replicates historical photos from the Pioneers Museum archives. See some early examples
- An official reading list all about our history has been released to help you learn all about Colorado Springs! See the list.
