2026 Walking Tour: America 250/Colorado 150: Seeing History in Place

Join Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum staff to critically reflect on the meaning of and connections to the commemoration of the America 250/Colorado 150 anniversaries. In 2026, how can we make sense of the 250 years since the Declaration of Independence, and 150 years of Colorado statehood? This tour explores how we have marked time throughout the history of Colorado Springs. Consider different regional anniversaries through the built environment and reflect on your own memories and observations of important events and dates. The tour will depart at 10 a.m. from Blk Mgk Coffee. Please plan to arrive early to get your beverage (included in ticket price) and check in with Downtown staff when you arrive. Plan on at least two hours to arrive early for a beverage, complete the tour, and return to your car.
