COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado â There is a lot to learn about the history of Colorado Springs and its founder General William Jackson Palmer at the COS@150 exhibit at the Pioneers Museum, but a great way to appreciate that legacy is to simply take a walk outdoors. To know and understand Gen. William Jackson Palmer, you have to understand how much he loved nature, said Leah Davis Witherow, the museum s curator of history. He believed that people needed nature for their physical, mental, spiritual wellbeing.
KRCC, southern Coloradoâs NPR station (and part of the Colorado Public Radio network), is celebrating 70 years on the air in 2021. The celebration is coinciding with the 150th anniversary of Colorado Springs founding.Â
