Plus, downtown is a Certified Creative District, which means that there are more than 300 works on art on display! Don't forget to ask questions - we love an interactive group!
The Antlers Hotel is a historic hotel originally built for by William Jackson Palmer, our city's founder, in 1873. Here, we'll talk about the beginnings of Colorado Springs and the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad that passed through.
