Places & Projects

The Historic Preservation Alliance of Colorado Springs provides information about places deserving special attention and protection within the Pikes Peak region.

About these images:  Once gracing the Tahama Springs pavilion in Monument Valley Park, these bronze medallions, representing General William Jackson Palmer, Lt. Zebulon Pike and Chief Tahama, disappeared sometime following the 1965 flood.  Efforts to find them have failed.  These medallions are a key feature of that historic place that the Historic Preservation Alliance and our project partners hope to reproduce as a component of the reconstruction project.  

Celebrating our Sesquicentennial!

Our WINTER LECTURE series is back!  February, March, April, via Zoom.  RSVP in advance.
