Sesquicentennial Scholar Series: Penrose Heritage Museum Celebrating 80th Anniversary

In honor of Colorado Springs’ sesquicentennial anniversary, the CSPM unveiled a new exhibit, COS@150. This robust exploration of our community’s history and culture features 150 objects, illuminates 150 stories, commemorates 150 years. Throughout the commemoration year, we invite you to explore these stories through a series of regional history lectures.
