MARAVILLAS DE LOS TEJEDORES WONDERS OF THE WEAVERS Nineteenth Century Rio Grande Weavings From the Collection of the Albuquerque Museum Opening May 26, 2007 Hispanic weavings are the epitome of Southwestern art and culture and this summer the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum showcases the Hispanic textile tradition with Wonders of the Weavers (Maravillas de los Tejedores). This collection of 37 Hispanic Rio Grande textiles brings together a variety of Rio Grande textile styles made between 1820 and 1900 and emphasizes weavings from the Albuquerque area, the historic center of the Rio Grande weaving industry. A Hispanic treadle loom upon which two of the featured early blankets were woven is also featured. Weaving tools including a reed, a spinning wheel bobbin, wool cards and sheep shears illustrate the tools of the early industry. Since 1598 Spanish entradas into the Rio Grande Valley brought the first sheep into the region. They also brought professional weavers from Spain who introduced the horizontal treadle loom. Through trade, raiding, and other aspects of cultural contact between and among Spanish colonists and native people, traditional Spanish weaving tools and methods spread throughout the Southwest.

In 1949, Sayyid Qutb came from Egypt to Greeley, Colorado, to take a master's degree in education. There he found American life primitive and shocking, full of green lawns, bad hair cuts, and sorority girls. Our brand new production, written by Theatreworks artistic director Murray Ross, imagines what might have happened between the founder of Islamic radicalism and some mischievous coeds, who introduce him to a new chaotic world, the land of Dar al-Harb.

The Estemere Estate consists of six buildings nestled against the mountains on 6-1/2 acres on the west side of Palmer Lake – the main residence, the carriage house, chapel, cottage, garage and shed – all finished in yellow clapboard siding with red asphalt shingled roofs. The main residence is a Queen Anne Victorian built in 1887 by William Finley Thompson, the founder of the Town of Palmer Lake. It contains seven original fireplaces complete with carved mantles and imported tiles, a billiards room with original stained glass windows, a second floor containing five bedrooms and walk-in closets, a third floor with sitting room and observatory, a fourth floor consisting of a “widow’s walk” with awesome views of Monument and Elephant Rock, and a fifth floor tower that still has a section of the original roofing and siding. The residence has been fully restored and furnished with period pieces. TOUR GUIDES: Roger & Kim Ward. The Wards are the owners and restorers of The Estemere Estate.

David Hunting, Deborah Harrison TOUR COORDINATOR: Cathy Mundy THE TOUR: Built in 1880, the Community Congregational Church is the oldest church in Manitou. The first stage, now the Nave, was erected at a cost of $3400 by Angus Gillis and George Snider. The stone was quarried from Williams Canon behind the Cave of the Winds. On the National Register of Historic Places, it continues to reflect a classic and quaint style of sacred architecture. Its rare Anderson Pipe Organ is one of only four left in the country. We will also visit Our Lady of Perpetual Help, the quaint shingle-style Catholic Church, which was first erected on Ruxton Avenue in 1889 by the Gillis Brothers. The building was badly burned in 1903 but rose again to its former appearance within just three months, thanks to generous donors such as General Palmer, and continues to serve the citizens of Manitou well. Colorado Gray Lines Tours is generously furnishing shuttle busses at no cost for this Tour.

One of the founders was Alice Bemis Taylor, who moved to Colorado Springs in the late 1800s for health reasons. Ms. Taylor had a keen interest in architecture and a strong desire to bring beauty and elegance into the lives of those who had little or none. With this in mind, she built the Historic Day Nursery located at 104 E. Rio Grande, which was dedicated in December of 1923, as a tribute to her mother and as a permanent facility for less fortunate young children. The dedication reads “to all mothers and all children”. Mrs. Taylor donated the land and building to the Day Nursery.

The building is significant as an exceptional example of Modern architecture in Colorado Springs. Contributing features include its folded plate roof, cantilevered walls, recessed foundation (which makes it appear to be floating above the ground), and use of an exterior courtyard as an integral part of the building. The building is also historically significant for serving as the Maytag Aircraft Corporation’s headquarters from 1957 through 1982. The company specialized in providing aircraft refueling services to the military, and maintenance and servicing of executive aircraft and the manufacture of aircraft parts. Its current owner is Court Appointed Special Advocates of the Pikes Peak Region (CASA), a non-profit organization dedicated to serving our area’s victimized children. TOUR GUIDES: Michael Collins, AIA Michael Collins Architects will speak to us of the building’s architectural features. Trudy Strewler has been the Executive Director of CASA since its inception in 1989; Roz Stouffer as Operations Manager took on the project of getting the Maytag Building on the State Register of Historic Properties, which was granted to the Maytag Building in December 2005.

Pax Quaeritur Bello (Let Peace be Sought through War) â€“ Oliver Cromwellâ€™s personal motto Coins, Crown & Conflict: An Exploration of Cromwellâ€™s England explores the period from the reign of Charles I and the English Civil Wars to the first years of the restored British monarchy under Charles II, through the coins, medals, people and objects associated with Oliver Cromwell. Oliver Cromwell has been the subject of speculation and research over the 350 years since his death. Some have praised him as a great reformer and supporter of religious freedom while others have reviled him as a ruthless tyrant. One thing we know is true â€“ during his life (1599 â€“ 1658) there was great change in England in religious, economic and political terms. Cromwellâ€™s own actions and the events of his lifetime form one of the pivotal points in the history of Great Britain and her colonies. The exhibit features the Petition Crown, one of England's most rare and valuable coins. This marks the first time the coin has been displayed in the United States. Other artifacts include Oliver Cromwell's death mask, spectacles, and gauntlets.

How and why did money originate? What famous ancient leaders helped define how money looked and was used â€“ then and now? What do the words and artwork on ancient coins tell us about the people who used them â€“ and about ourselves? Travel back in time over 2,000 years and find out. Invented in the 7th century BC in the Kingdom of Lydia, coins replaced cows and sheep as the standard for trade. Soon hundreds of mints in ancient Greece were using dies to produce silver coins similar to our own, with mint marks and two-sided imagery. Explore the foundations of modern money with a trip to ancient Greece. In ancient Rome, money was used to pay salaries, purchase slaves and spread propaganda. Soldiers made more than professors, a day at the coliseum was free, and emperors used coins to announce their rise to power and promote their policies and accomplishments. Enter a Roman temple and learn about life, money and mass media during historyâ€™s most famous and infamous empire.

This year the tours include: · The Lowell Thomas Museum, which is offering a special guided tour of early mining artifacts, early 20th Century furnished rooms, and the doctor’s office equipment of Dr. A. C. Denman. A full-sized model of an early settler’s cabin reveals another more primitive way of living in that day. · The Fortune Club, a long-time favorite ice cream fountain gathering place which is presently being restored. The second floor has rooms for rent, furnished much as they were in the early 20th Century. Notice the original primitive painting and the brass sign on the double doors leading to the Ladies Room. · An Edwardian house, built in 1914, which features spacious rooms and a second story. It is currently being lovingly restored true to the period. The kitchen still has the original wood/coal burning stove, but is otherwise a modern dream kitchen. · A Victorian house whose outside architecture is completely respected. However, the interior is delightfully modern—light steams in on the open spaces. You will see how the best of both worlds can be combined. · A home, built next to where the Midland Terminal Railroad used to wend its way, enjoys a site punctuated by a decorative iron fence and has one of the best views in town. Edwardian accents and a large living room window mark the style of the interior rooms. Buy your $5 ticket for the Tour at the Victor Hotel, the Lowell Thomas Museum, the Fortune Club, and Nana’s Attic. (Children 10 and under are welcomed free.) Proceeds will support and preserve Victor’s early 20th Century architecture.
