Welcome to a beautiful city set under Pikes
Peak which has been the site of inspirations past and present. Katherine Lee Bates wrote
"America the Beautiful" while staying in a hotel downtown at Pikes Peak and
Tejon Street. Helen Hunt Jackson envisioned her stay at Colorado Springs
with the Indian conflict and racial barriers in her novel, Ramona, while Tesla, the true
pioneer in electricity called Colorado Springs his home until he blew out
the the city's lights during an electrical experiment.
It has been the home of copper, silver, and
gold kings, most notably, Spencer Penrose of the Broadmoor and Myron Stratton of the
Stratton Home. Both were philanthropists whose good fortunes are still shared and enjoyed
by the people of the city to this day. It was and continues to be the home of many
generals, particularly, General Palmer (Civil War) who is the city's founder and whose
foresight in city planning is unrivaled to this day. It has seen Zebulon Pike, the Younger
Brothers, Kit Carson, the Ute, Kiowa, and Arapahoe. More recently, Colorado
Springs was the hometown of the horror king, Lon Chaney, of whom a local theatre
is named. We have seen many of the city's finest go on to become authors, screenplay
writers, actors, musicians, dancers, pilots, engineers, doctors, lawyers and
entrepreneurs. It is the home of our future with the Air Force Academy. It is also home of
the military institutions of Ft. Carson, Schriever Air Force Base, and Peterson Field.
Hopefully, it will become your home too.
