Meg Poole Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum - April 15, 2021 - KRDO's Afternoon News

July 31, 1871, the story of the City of Colorado Springs began. A small group of people gathered near what is today the southeast corner of Cascade and Pikes Peak Avenue for a founding ceremony. Over the past 150 years, the city grew and developed around that very spot where the first stake was drive. As we venture to and around the three historic downtown parks—Acacia, Antlers and Alamo—we’ll explore stories of celebration, innovation and determination. This tour is drawn from the Museum’s newest exhibit, COS@150, which features 150 objects, illuminating 150 stories, and commemorating 150 years.
