Saturday in Colorado Springs

I-25 Shot

Spent Saturday down in Colorado Springs.  I was going to go to the Pioneer Museum and then look around at the old neighborhoods.  But then my brother called saying that they were still in Colorado Springs so we met for lunch at Edelweiss German Restaurant which is always good.

The Pioneer Museum had a special exhibit about the 150 years of Colorado Springs using artifacts for all decades.  I was especially interested in reading about The Cotton Club that was a multi -racial nite club when this wasn’t done.   Fannie Mae Duncan made it happen with her motto of “Everybody Welcome”.

The Pioneer Museum is located in the old County Courthouse which is an amazing structure.  Here are some of the other exhibits.
