Welcome Summer!  The Historic Preservation Alliance of Colorado Springs is excited to present our Summer Tour schedule for 2023. There will be eight tours this year, all on Thursday evenings starting on July 13th and going through August 31. All tours require pre-registration online as there are several tours that have a limit on how many can be accommodated by our hosts. Registration check in times are as early as 3:30, most are at 5:30 and two are at 6:00. Our HPA members only pay any additional charges that the tour host might be charging. The non HPA members may attend for a voluntary donation of $10 for each event to the HPA and they will also have to pay an additional cost from the tour host if there is one. If you are not a member, we encourage you to renew or join the HPA. Tours will begin on time. Colorado summer evenings are unpredictable so come prepared with light jackets, sunscreen, comfortable shoes, umbrella, flashlight, etc. Bottle water will be available at all tours. Please-no Pets! In consideration of participating in HPA tours, the participant assumes and releases the HPA and its volunteers, employees, agents, and independent contractors from any and all risks of or liability for physical, emotional, or economic harm, injury, or damage caused by or arising from the acts, omissions, or negligence of the HPA, HPA volunteers, independent contractors, the participant him/herself, or any other person or entity. There will be a 2023 HPA Liability Waiver that you will need to sign on your 1st tour this year.
