Please join us to hear Leah Davis Witherow, curator of the Pioneers Museum in Colorado Springs, CO who will share “What’s New and Old”. This illustrated talk will share a bit of history about the 1903 former El Paso County Courthouse – now the museum’s most important artifact – as well as updates to our permanent exhibits and highlights from the collection.

Founded by the El Paso County Pioneers’ Association in 1896, the CSPM now houses 70,000 artifacts, 80,000 photographs, and approximately 7,000 cubic feet of archival materials. With a mission to collect and share the history and culture of the Pikes Peak region, the CSPM offers a robust series of exhibits and programs that center on storytelling to explore our unique and complex past and help us understand our present day.

Leah Davis Witherow is the Curator of History for the CSPM and has taught American History and Museum Studies at UCCS for the past 25 years. She is on the statewide Board of Colorado Humanities, and was selected as the UCCS College of Letters, Arts and Sciences “Outstanding Lecturer of the Year, and a Colorado Springs Business Journal’s Woman of Influence in 2018.
